Scottish terror mastermind committed suicide in jail 3 Hour,40 minutes Ago UK News, A FORMER mastermind of the Scottish National Liberation Army was found hanged in his cell in a prison segregation unit only hours before he was due to appear in court on charges relating to a major security alert linked to the opening of the Scottish Parliament, a Fatal Accident Inquiry heard yesterday. Andrew McIntosh, 49, convicted 11 years ago of organising a Scottish National Liberation Army terror campaign, committed suicide by tying a ligature to a tap in his cell in Aberdeen's Craiginches prison. McIntosh, known as the Tartan Terrorist, took his own life nine days after being arrested on the day the Queen performed the official opening of the Holyrood building. Aberdeen Sheriff Court was told that a prison doctor, two experienced nurses and a large number of prison officers had all come to the conclusion that McIntosh was not a suicide risk in the days leading up to his death. The Fatal Accident Inquiry, however, also heard that McIntosh had been admitted to the segregation unit without going through the normal reception assessment procedures when he was transferred from Perth Prison back to Craiginches three days before he died. Sheriff Jessop ruled at the conclusion of the evidence that McIntosh's death could not have been avoided. He said: "I am satisfied that, even had he been assessed by the reception officer or nurse, no different conclusion would have been reached. This departure from procedure was understandable and did not play any part in the death of the deceased." McIntosh was jailed for 12 years at the High Court in Aberdeen in December 1993, after being convicted of being the SNLA cell commander behind a letter-bomb and bomb-hoax campaign in Scotland and England.
