A former Greek serviceman was warned he faced a significant jail sentence after he left a potentially explosive device bearing the slogan "F*** you all" in city centre public gardens.
Nikolaos Karvounakis claimed to be a member of the International Terrorist Mafia - a Mexican eco- terror group - after placing the homemade 'bomb' in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens.
About a month after the device was found he contacted a newspaper journalist sending a photo of it and described himself as a "lover of nihilist anti-political violence".
