    The ruling came Monday in Ahmed Ferhani’s case.

    His lawyers say the prosecution is based on insufficient evidence and dubious police tactics that targeted a mentally unstable man.

    The Manhattan district attorney’s office says Ferhani was intent on attacking a synagogue and bought three guns and a grenade to do so. The buy was a sting.

    Ferhani and co-defendant Mohamed Mamdouh were arrested last year. They’ve pleaded not guilty.

    A grand jury declined to indict the men on a top-level terror conspiracy charge. They still face other terror and hate crime charges that carry up to 32 years in prison.
