Glasgow Bomb Plot: NHS Doctor Found Guilty of Terror Attack on Airport
THE TELEGRAPH: An NHS doctor has been found guilty of launching car bomb attacks on Glasgow airport and a London nightclub as part of a nationwide terrorist campaign.

Bilal Abdulla was the passenger in a burning Jeep driven into Glasgow airport on June 30 last year in an attempted suicide attack.

The driver of the Jeep, Kafeel Ahmed, a PhD student from India, died a month later from the burns he suffered in the attack.

The pair had earlier tried to blow up two Mercedes cars packed with gas canisters and petrol cans that they had left outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub in London's West End.

Woolwich Crown Court court heard the men also had two other cars in reserve and were probably planning a campaign of terrorist "spectaculars." >>> By Duncan Gardham, Security Correspondent | December 16, 2008

Muslim Doctors on Trial

THE TELEGRAPH: Two NHS doctors planned a campaign of "indiscriminate" murder involving at least four car bombs but turned their mission into a suicide attack when their plans went awry, a court has heard.

Bilal Abdulla from Iraq and Moahmmed Asha [sic] from Jordan were part of a terrorist cell of Islamic extremists who tried to launch attacks on busy urban areas including a night club in central London, Woolwich Crown Court heard.

But the men allegedly turned their plans into a suicide attack after the first mission failed and a third member of the cell died after driving a burning Jeep into Glasgow airport.

"These men were intent on committing murder on an indiscriminate and a wholescale" level, said Jonathan Laidlaw QC, prosecuting.

"Attacks such as these: the terrorist would call them 'spectaculars'" he added.

But he said the most shocking aspect of the case was that the plot was carried out by two doctors, who had dedicated themselves to saving lives.

"Apart from the shocking nature of the activity these two defendants were engaged in, the extraordinary thing about this case is that both men are doctors," Mr Laidlaw said.

"Having studied at universities in their homelands they sought and obtained work in British hospitals to complete their medical training.

"While here they turned their attention away from the treating of illness to the planning of murder." Terror Trial: Doctors Planned Campaign of 'Indiscriminate Murder['] >>> By Duncan Gardham, Security Correspondent | October 9, 2008
