First suspect in court over Britain car bomb plot
Sat Jul 7, 2007 6:43AM EDT

LONDON (Reuters) - An Iraqi-trained doctor appeared in a
London court on Saturday in connection with failed car bomb
attacks in London and Glasgow.

Bilal Abdulla, 27, was charged with conspiracy to cause
explosions. Dressed in a white sweatshirt, he spoke only to
confirm his name and address.

No bail was applied for and he will reappear at London's Old
Bailey criminal court on July 27.

Abdulla is the first person to be charged over the suspected
al Qaeda-linked plot in which eight Middle Eastern and Indian
medics have been arrested, seven in Britain and one in
Australia.
