Doctor guilty of Glasgow Airport terror attack
16.12.08
A doctor has been found guilty of plotting to carry out wholesale killings by detonating car bombs at Glasgow Airport and in London. A jury at London's Woolwich Crown Court found Bilal Abdulla, a junior doctor, guilty of planning the bomb attacks last year.
Dr Abdulla, 29, the son of Iraqi immigrants, was arrested near where a burning Jeep filled with gas canisters had been driven into Glasgow Airport on its busiest day of the year last summer. He was found guilty of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions and faces a life sentence.
Dr Abdulla admitted in court he fit the legal definition of ‘a terrorist’ but added he believed Britain could just as well be accused of terrorism for its own actions in Iraq. But his assertion he had only wanted to frighten people brought a rebuke from Crown Prosecution Service lawyer Karen Jones, who said: ‘If you are planning to scare people you do not pack cars with petrol, gas and nails.' An accomplice, Kafeel Ahmed, died following the June 30, 2007, Glasgow Airport attack.
