Doctor in terror case remand
Former Shropshire doctor Mohammed Asha was remanded in custody today charged with conspiracy to cause explosions in relation to the failed car bomb attacks on London and Glasgow Airports.
Asha, 26, who appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates Court in London, is accused of conspiring with Bilal Abdullah, Kafeel Ahmed and "others unknown".
The doctor, from Newcastle under Lyme, was remanded in custody and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on July 27.
Asha worked as a junior doctor at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital until August last year. It is also believed he worked at Telford's Princess Royal Hospital during his time in Shropshire.
Wearing glasses and a white T-shirt, he spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address at the brief court hearing today.
He was the fourth person to be charged in connection with the terror plot. He was arrested on the M6 motorway in the wake of the attacks. His wife, Marwa Asha, 27, was arrested at the same time but was released without charge last Thursday.
