I guess taking lives is more exciting than saving them...
Police said one man arrested in Glasgow is Bilal Abdulla.

According to the British General Medical Council's register, a man named Bilal Talal Abdul Samad Abdulla was registered in 2004 and trained in Baghdad.

Staff at Royal Alexandra Hospital said one suspect was a doctor of Middle Eastern or Iraqi origin who worked there.

UPDATE: Aussies bag third terror doc
A 27-YEAR-old Gold Coast doctor was arrested at Brisbane Airport last night in connection with Britain's foiled car bomb terror plot, authorities have confirmed.

The doctor, a registrar at Gold Coast Hospital, is the eighth person held over the foiled terror plot to detonate car bombs in London and the attack using a flaming 4WD on Glasgow Airport.

Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock said it was believed the man was seeking to leave Australia when he was arrested at the Brisbane International Airport, he did not have a return ticket.

RELATED: Is this the next wave?
-- LONDON -— In Britain, where terrorist plots have become alarmingly familiar, this weekend's dramatic string of attempted car bombings demonstrated a new and disconcerting element: An enthusiastic, and often incompetent, amateurism.

But there is a fear that members of this gang could be so-called "clean skins," people who developed an affinity with al-Qaeda through Internet connections or personal beliefs, without making any actual contact.

LAST WORD:
So move to Iraq already
Younes Tsouli, 23, of west London, and Waseem Mughal, 24, of Chatham, Kent, changed their pleas two months into their trial at Woolwich Crown Court.

The pair had links to al-Qaeda in Iraq and spent a year encouraging people to follow the ideology of Osama Bin Laden.
