Jordanian charged in failed bomb plot
A Jordanian doctor has been charged in connection with foiled car bomb plots in London and in Glasgow, police said.
Mohammed Jamil Asha, 26, was charged with conspiracy to cause explosions, a police spokeswoman said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Asha was detained June 30 on a highway in northern England.
Asha is the fourth person to be charged since a pair of cars packed with gas cylinders and nails were found in central London on June 29. The next day, two men crashed a Jeep Cherokee loaded with gas canisters and gasoline into security barriers at Glasgow Airport’s main terminal.
