An NHS doctor accused of attempted car bombings in London and at Glasgow Airport has admitted that according to English law he is a terrorist.

Bilal Abdulla, 29, is alleged to have crashed into the airport in a Jeep laden with petrol and gas canisters.
But he told a jury he never wanted to kill or injure anyone.

Dr Abdulla, from Paisley, and Dr Mohammed Asha, 27, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, deny conspiracies to murder and to cause explosions.

The defence has said that Dr Abdulla and friend Kafeel Ahmed, 28, wanted to highlight the plight of people in Iraq and Afghanistan with a series of incendiary device attacks in June 2007.

    • PS - "A jury at Woolwich Crown Court heard Dr Abdulla had told police in Scotland "something along those lines" that he was a terrorist shortly after being arrested."

      Does that part sound a bit off to anyone else?

    • Dr Abdulla admitted throwing petrol bombs as he got out of the burning vehicle. But he claimed he had tossed them away to protect himself after Ahmed had passed one to him, accidentally lighting the others in the process.

      He's just an incompetent terrorist!

    • If he wants to be a terrorist, then treat him like a terrorist. Send him to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Let the US Marines talk to him, and when their done, send his dumb ass to Afganistan, with an note about how he co-operated with US officials on terrorism.

    • Maybe by not killing anyone he meant that he didn't think that he'd be killing any Muslims, just those infidel Christians and Jews with maybe a Buddhist or a Hindu thrown in for extra credit. For some good insight into the mindset that contributes to this sort of terrorist action, check out Geert Wilders' ten minute film "Fitna" on the web. It's chilling!

    • i wonder what that conversation sounded like . the cops gave him random questions like " given a choice , would you rather things be the way you want them to be or the way that's best for everyone involved ? " shit like that , sorta steering him towards the inevitable "well , it seems you have presented me with a logical certitude i cannot avoid and i am left with no option but to agree that , by your reasoning , i am a terrorist " . like a very civilized chess game scenario .

    • Violence is never a good highlighter.....it just changes the focus from what people were thinking to how you almost hurt a bunch of people, and never to plights of Afghani or Iraqi people.

      The Youth International Party, whose members were commonly called Yippies, was a highly theatrical and anti-authoritarian political party established in the United States in 1967. An offshoot of the free speech and anti-war movements of the 1960s, the Yippies presented a more radically youth-oriented and countercultural alternative to those movements.

    • Wiredbirds,

      You are so offensive to link Yippie and terrorist. The movements have nothing to do with each other. Yippies were not for instilling fear and death to non-adherents. Read!
