Man arrested in Glasgow terror attack is Iraqi doctor
LONDON (AP) - One of the men arrested in connection with the failed weekend attack on Glasgow airport has been identified as an Iraqi doctor, police said Monday.
Officials confirmed that one man arrested in Glasgow is Bilal Abdulla, identified in television reports as an Iraqi doctor.
A second man arrested late Saturday on a highway in central England was identified as Mohammed Jamil Abdelqader Asha, a police official said.
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.
The register also lists Asha as having trained in Jordan, gaining a medical degree in 2004.
A man answering the telephone at the Iraqi Embassy said he was not authorized to make any comment about Abdulla's arrest.
Now let's not racial profile. It's not fair. We have to have some dignity and we must play nice with these people you know. After all they are human beings. Oh, and these men are doctors so we must show them the proper respect. We need to show some comapssion for them because after all they are only doing this because they want to serve their God. We need to try and understand them and coddle them and talk to them and maybe we can make them realize that what they are doing is not nice. So let's be nice to them and maybe they'll just go away and leave us alone.
