An Iraqi NHS doctor was today found guilty of conspiring to murder hundreds of people with car bomb attacks on London and Glasgow.
Bilal Abdulla (29) was convicted of conspiracy to murder and to cause explosions at Woolwich Crown Court.
But a second defendant, his close friend, Jordanian NHS neurologist Mohammed Asha (28) was acquitted of the same charges.
Islamic extremist Abdulla plotted to murder late-night revellers in London's West End with two mobile phone-detonated devices.
He drove one of two Mercedes saloons loaded with gas cylinders, petrol and nails into central London. But the bombs failed to detonate.
Just over a day later a Jeep loaded with a similar deadly cargo was crashed into Glasgow Airport in a suicide attack.
Abdulla wanted revenge for the wars in his homeland and what he saw as Western oppression of Muslims worldwide.
