The dissident republican cleared of murdering two British soldiers in Antrim in 2009 said his DNA had been planted in the getaway car.
Colin Duffy, 44, was found not guilty last Friday of murdering Mark Quinsey, 23, and Patrick Azimkar, 21, at Masserenne Barracks in March
2009.
His co-accused, Brian Shivers, 46, from Magherafelt, was found guilty.
Speaking at a press conference in Belfast the day after he walked free from court Mr. Duffy, sporting a long beard from his Maghaberry prison protest, said he had "no involvement" in the attack.
"Let me state quite categorically here that I had no involvement with what happened at Massereene - no involvement whatsoever - and that has been vindicated in the court," he said.
"There was no credible evidence to suggest otherwise."
On Friday, Judge Hart said he was satisfied that Mr. Duffy's DNA had been found on a latex glove tip inside the car and on a seat buckle, but, he said, the prosecution had failed to link the defendant to the murder plot.
Mr. Duffy told the press at the Conway Mill news conference, where he was joined by supporters, that he had "never been in that car."
"My position has been, from the word 'go', that my DNA, was in my opinion, planted there," he said.
He refused to condemn dissident attacks but also said that he did not support them.
This is the third time that Colin Duffy has been cleared of murder.
In 1996, the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction and life sentence for shooting dead a former UDR solder, while a year later, he had charges of murdering two RUC men dropped.
Mr. Duffy's co-accused, Brian Shivers, was found guilty of six counts of attempted murder and one of possession of two firearms and ammunition
with intent to endanger life.
During the trial, Mr. Shivers, whose girlfriend is a Protestant, denied all charges and claimed he supported Sinn Féin and the peace process. He suffers from cystic fibrosis and the year before the Massereene attack was told he had only five or six years left to live.
Shiver said he had other things to do in his life rather than getting involved in murder.
As he left court in Antrim Town on Friday, Colin Duffy and his family had to run a gauntlet of angry loyalists who had gathered outside the court after word of the not guilty verdict, which was handed down by the judge after the non-jury trial, spread.
