Dr Mohammed Jamil Asha, 26, who appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates Court in London, is accused of conspiring with Bilal Abdullah, Kafeel Ahmed and "others unknown" to cause explosions.

The doctor, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, was remanded in custody and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on July 27.

Asha, wearing glasses and a white t-shirt, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address at the brief court hearing today.

He was the fourth person to be charged in connection with the terror plot.

He was arrested on the M6 motorway in the wake of the attacks. His wife, Marwa Asha, 27, was arrested at the same time but was released without charge last Thursday.

Iraqi doctor Bilal Abdullah was the first person to be charged over the London and Glasgow attacks.

He was arrested after a flaming Jeep was driven into the doors of the arrival hall of Glasgow Airport. He is also due to appear at the Old Bailey on July 27.

Kafeel Ahmed, 27, is in a critical conditions with serious burns in a specialist unit at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

Ahmed, who was also arrested at Glasgow Airport, was described earlier this week as in an "extremely poor physical state".

Dr Sabeel Ahmed, 26, the brother of Kafeel, is charged with possessing information that could have prevented an act of terrorism.

He appeared in court on Monday and was remanded in custody.

Another man, Mohammed Haneef, 27, has been detained in Australia for immigration offences after being charged in connection with the plot.

The charge against Dr Asha reads: "That on diverse dates between the first day of January 2007 and the first day of July 2007 within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, (you) unlawfully and maliciously conspired with Bilal Abdullah, Kafeel Ahmed and others unknown to cause explosions of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property in the United Kingdom, contrary to section 31A of the Explosive Substances Act 1883."
