Terror trial date set for men accused of bomb plot on ex-UDA bosses Four terror accused will go on trial next year accused of murder plots against a prison governor and former UDA figures. Anton Duffy, 38, Martin Hughes, 35, Paul Sands, 31, and John Gorman, 57, deny conspiring to murder Johnny Adair and Sammy McCrory, once senior figures in the the loyalist terrorist group. Duffy and Gorman were also allegedly part of a plan to target the governor of Barlinnie prison Derek McGill OBE in a deadly car bomb attack between June 2012 and last October. Judge Lord Boyd set the trial date on Monday at the High Court in Glasgow after hearing that the trial is expected to last for 10 weeks. Prosecutor Iain McSporran said: "I don't think it will last longer than that." Three other men, Craig Convery, 37, Gary Convery, 34, and Gordon Brown, 29, will also go on trial then accused of allegations linked to the terror plans. It is alleged that Duffy, Hughes, Sands and Gorman along with un-named individuals plotted to kill Adair and McCrory between August 2010 and October last year. Duffy, Hughes, Gorman and Sands also face another charge of joining others with the "intention of committing acts of terrorism." This includes claims that contact was made with Republican movements the Real IRA and the IRA. The charge alleges there was a plan to identify individuals and premises "to be the target of action" causing serious harm. Hughes, Sands and Gorman further face a separate charge of intending to assist Duffy in acts of terrorism. Craig and Gary Convery are accused of directing others to commit serious offences such as drug dealing, possession of firearms and those under the Proceeds of Crime Act. This includes instructing individuals in the sale and transportation of a number of deadly weapons such as revolver guns and rifles. Brown is then charged with agreeing with the Converys to help in the "commission of serious organised crime." One accusation states he met with Duffy and handed money over to him. The trio are also accused along with Duffy of possessing an assault rifle at an address in Paisley, Renfrewshire. Craig Convery faces a final charge under the Proceeds of Crime Act of having £5660 in money on September 12 last year. All seven deny all the charges against them.
