REAL IRA leader Michael McKevitt lost his appeal yesterday against his conviction for directing terrorism.
The three judges of the Court of Criminal Appeal said that the Special Criminal Court was entitled to conclude that the main prosecution witness in the case - FBI agent David Rupert - was a credible witness and to accept his evidence.
The judges said the Special Criminal Court was correct to convict McKevitt for directing terrorism.
McKevitt, who was in court for the decision, smiled at his wife Bernadette Sands McKevitt and her sister Marcella Sands - both sisters of dead IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands - as he was brought in to the courtroom.
