FACTBOX - Details of the London and Glasgow bomb plot

LONDON (Reuters) - Two doctors are accused of plotting a series of car bomb attacks across Britain last year.

Bilal Abdulla and Mohammed Asha went on trial at Woolwich Crown Court on charges of plotting the failed bombings in central London and an attempted suicide attack on Glasgow Airport in June last year.

Here are main details of the prosecution case.

WHAT WAS THE PLAN?

In early 2007, a small terrorist cell began to plan a series of attacks in Britain using bombs hidden in vehicles. The aim was to commit murder on a "wholesale scale" and cause panic and alarm on the same scale as the July 7, 2005 bombings.

The cell, who met while studying or working in Cambridge, had bought five cars which might all have been involved in attacks.

The bomb factory was a house that Abdulla rented in Paisley, 14 miles from Glasgow.

The men carried out reconnaissance for the first attacks in central London in May 2007, with prosecutors suggesting that trips to areas near the Old Bailey criminal court meant it had been a possible target.

They then began buying components for the bombs, many of which were purchased from B&Q, at the end of May and start of June.
