Terror plot convict to appeal against verdict

A man sentenced under Canada's anti-terrorism law for plotting attacks in the UK will appeal against his conviction, his lawyer said.

Momin Khawaja, a 29-year-old Canadian of Pakistani descent, was sentenced last month to 10 and a half years for participating in a thwarted 2004 plan to attack London's Ministry of Sound nightclub, a shopping centre and electrical and gas facilities in Britain.
