A TERRORIST suspect had his wrists bound with cable ties during a 7am raid by police on his family home, a court heard.

Details of the dramatic swoop unfolded at the High Court in Glasgow, where Mohammed Siddique, 21, stands trial.

The raid on Siddique's home happened more than a week after Special Branch detectives stopped him at Glasgow Airport as he prepared to fly to Pakistan.

Detective Constable John Hay told the trial how he and colleagues from Central Scotland Police moved in on the seven bedroom home in Alva, Clackmannanshire, on April 13 last year.

Officers knocked down the front door with a ramming device and manacled the occupants.

The detective said: "When we got there, people within the home had cable ties around their wrists.

"I just saw Mohammed Siddique and his brother. Mohammed was sitting on a bed. He had cable ties on his hands to the back."

He said Siddique made no comment when he was cautioned other than to ask: "Is this about the items found?"

DC Hay said: "He just came out with it. I told him I could not make any comment on it at that time."

The detective added that when they arrived at Govan police station in Glasgow - where Siddique was to be detained - he asked to contact his dad about the arrest, but a senior officer had earlier ordered the privilege be denied.

The court heard the search lasted three days and hundreds of items were seized.

PC Alan Manson, 43, agreed with Donald Findlay QC, defending, that only one of the items - a compact disc - was found in a "place of concealment".

Earlier yesterday, a Special Branch detective told how Siddique and his uncle were detained on April 5 last year at Glasgow Airport as they prepared to fly out to Lahore for three months.

Siddique's bag in the hold was searched, as were two holdalls and a bag with a laptop he had as hand luggage.

But DC Gary Murray said they found nothing relating to terrorism.

Siddique denies five charges relating to terrorism activities.

The trial continues.
