A woman jailed for trying to murder a police officer in north Belfast failed today in a bid to overturn her conviction.
Christine Connor claimed she was wrongly found to have launched a pipe bomb attack on officers lured to the scene by a hoax 999 call in May 2013.
But judges at the Court of Appeal today dismissed all grounds of challenge to the guilty verdict.
Appearing remotely from custody, Connor described the proceedings as farcical and denied being a terrorist.
The 35-year-old, whose address in the city is subject to reporting restrictions, is serving a 20-year sentence for carrying out the attack.
