| Life for doctor in Glasgow airport terror bid |
| 2008-12-17 |
| A British-Iraqi doctor who led failed attempts to attack a London nightclub and Glasgow airport with nail-packed car bombs was sentenced to life in prison. Bilal Abdulla, 29, was earlier convicted of conspiring to murder hundreds of Britons and conspiring to cause explosions in two botched terrorist attacks last year. Justice Colin Mackay gave Abdulla a life sentence, ordering him to serve a minimum of 32 years concurrently on each count and telling him he was a ''religious extremist and a bigot.'' Police said Abdulla, a Sunni Muslim raised in Iraq but born in Britain who holds dual citizenship, carried out his attacks to avenge the deaths of friends and relatives in Iraq. |

| #1 Do Any 'burgers from across the pond know what a "life" sentence means in the UK? I believe that in Germany a life sentence = 10 years. I am curious as to when we can expect to see this scum trying for a repeat. |
