FACTBOX - The London and Glasgow bomb suspects

LONDON (Reuters) - Two doctors, Bilal Abdulla and Mohammed Asha, have gone on trial accused of plotting bomb attacks on central London and Glasgow Airport.

Here are some brief facts about the men and another member of their alleged militant cell.

BILAL ABDULLA

Abdulla was born in Britain but is an Iraqi national. His family returned to Baghdad when he was five and he was educated there.

In 2004, he graduated in medicine from the University of Baghdad and then moved to Cambridge to study for a qualification allowing him to work in Britain.

In August 2006, he moved to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, Scotland, as a junior house officer.

Prosecutors said he was a strict Muslim, knowledgeable about the Koran, and able to speak and read Arabic.

He held extremist Islamic beliefs and was a central figure in the terrorist cell, Woolwich Crown Court was told. He was a man "determined on committing murder" according to prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw.

At the time of the attacks he was living in hospital accommodation at the hospital in Paisley although he also rented out a house nearby where the bombs were constructed, the court heard.
