A Nigerian Masters student, Somtochukwu Okwuoha, faces jail and deportation after a jury found him guilty of making terrorist threats against Dundee University.
The 26-year-old, who claimed he had enlisted Isis to help bomb the university and told staff he planned to target the city in a chemical attack, will be sentenced next month.
The international Energy Studies student was found guilty of seven charges and was remanded in custody.
Sheriff William Wood will also consider the Crown’s motion for order to deport Okwuoha to his home country, Nigeria.
A trial heard that Okwuoha told university staff he planned to carry out mass murder on the Dundee University campus.
Witnesses described how the student claimed he had a military background and was capable of making bombs and unleashing a deadly virus on the city.
Okwuoha, a prisoner in Perth, was found guilty of threatening to murder staff at the university and commit terrorist crime between December 2021 and June 2022.
He was found guilty of threatening to commit mass murder, using biological weapons, revealing staff details to international authorities, and claiming to have planted bombs.
He was also found guilty of threatening to behead police officers and detonating bombs he had planted at Dundee University.
