A GLASGOW restaurant owner told yesterday how he received death threats from a Kurdish terror group.
Ahmet Kaya, 49, said he was terrified and living in fear for his life.
Special Branch officers installed security cameras in his premises in Dundas Street, Glasgow, after the threats.
Defence advocate Mr Jock Thomson asked him: ``Were the threats from the Kurdish Workers' Party, known as the PPK?''
Mr Kaya told the High Court in Glasgow they were.
Mr Kaya told how a gunman and three other men came into his Mangul Turkish Restaurant in Dundas Street last January.
The gunman jumped on the counter and pointed the gun at him and all four men shouted: ``Make Jeff come out.''
Mr Kaya told Advocate- depute Scott Brady that he ran and pressed the panic alarm to alert police.
He denied a suggestion by Mr Thomson that he over-reacted because of the death threats and produced a gun when the men burst into his shop.
Minutes later, Bernard Sweeney, 50, of Chestnut Place, Abronhill, Cumbernauld, was arrested with a gun in his pocket by police nearby, the court heard.
Mr Kaya later agreed that Sweeney had tried to buy his premises some time after the incident.
Sweeney was cleared of threatening Mr Kaya but admitted unlawfully possessing a gun in the restaurant and in streets in the city centre.
He will be sentenced next month by Lord Kirkwood.
