Abdulla Arrested

From 'ITV.com': An NHS (National Health Service) doctor on trial for crashing into Glasgow Airport in a car laden with petrol and gas canisters has admitted he is a terrorist. Woolwich Crown Court heard that junior doctor Bilal Abdulla, 29, an Iraqi, told Scottish police just minutes after his arrest on June 30th last year that he was a terrorist. He has admitted trying to set fire to home-made "car bomb" devices in London's West End and said he wanted to give Britons a "taste of fear" for the country's participation in the Iraq war. He insisted he was not part of a conspiracy to kill or injure anyone.

Abdulla, who worked at Glasgow's Royal Alexandra Hospital, planned the attacks on June 29th last year with engineer friend Kafeel Ahmed, 28, who created the "bombs" using petrol can, gas cylinders, nails and home-built electrical circuits. But he said he had no idea that Ahmed, who was driving him to the airport so he could flee the UK via Turkey, would then career the Jeep Cherokee into the building and set himself on fire. Ahmed, who was Indian, died one month after the attack.

Abdulla is on trial with Mohammed Asha, 28, accused of conspiracy to murder and to cause explosions. The two men deny the offences. Asked if he told an officer he was a terrorist as he arrived at a Glasgow police station, Abdulla said: "I said something along those lines, but it was more like a question." He continued: "Everyone was saying you are a terrorist, you are arrested under the Terrorism Act and so forth. That is my case in a nutshell. I am told I am a terrorist, but is your Government not a terrorist, is your army not a terrorist?

"By the definition of the Act, according to English law, yes. That is my aim to change opinion using violence, using fire devices." Abdulla admitted he threw a petrol bomb and fought with bystanders as he got out of the burning vehicle after his friend accelerated into the building.
