A British-Iraqi doctor was convicted of conspiracy to murder Tuesday for failed car bomb attacks upon young nightclubbers and rescue workers in London and airport travelers in Scotland. Prosecutors said he plotted to kill hundreds in revenge for the deaths of loved ones in Iraq.
Bilal Abdulla, 29, who is due to be sentenced Wednesday at London's Woolwich Crown Court, was also convicted of conspiring to cause explosions in central London and at Glasgow airport. His co-defendant, Jordanian neurologist Mohammed Asha, 28, was acquitted of playing any role in the plot. (AP)
