Bilal Abdullah was remanded in custody when he appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in central London.

The 27-year-old, who was arrested after a flaming Jeep was driven into Glasgow Airport a week ago, is accused of conspiring to cause explosions.

Abdullah, who wore a white sweatshirt and was flanked by two plain-clothed security officers, spoke only to give his name and to confirm his date of birth.

The court clerk told him: "The charge against you is that between January 1 and July 1 this year within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, you unlawfully and maliciously conspired with others to cause explosions of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property in the United Kingdom."

Abdullah stood in the dock while the charge was read out to him but had earlier failed to stand when District Judge Anthony Evans entered the room.

Karen Jones prosecuting, told the court that the charge was related to suspected bomb attacks in London and Glasgow on June 29 and June 30.

There was no application for bail and Abdullah was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on July 27.
