More time to quiz terror suspects
08 January 2007
The four men and one woman, in custody at London's high security Paddington Green police station, were all arrested in the wake of the attacks last week.
Two are trainee doctors, aged 25 and 28, who were arrested at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Paisley.
The others being detained include Dr Mohammed Asha, 26, of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, who was arrested with his wife, Marwa Asha, on the M6 motorway in Cheshire last Saturday.
The same day a 26-year-old doctor from Bangalore, India, who worked at Halton Hospital in Runcorn, Cheshire, was arrested in the Lyme Street area of Liverpool.
Also under police guard is a man arrested after a flaming Jeep was driven at Glasgow airport. He is being treated for burns and is in a critical condition in hospital.
Dr Asha, Marwa Asha and the 26-year-old doctor from Bangalore can now be questioned until Saturday, July 14. The two trainee doctors arrested at the Royal Alexandra Hospital can be held for a further day, until July 15.
Terror suspects can be held without charge for a maximum of four weeks but police must apply for a warrant of further detention every few days.
:: On Saturday an Iraqi doctor today became the first person to appear in court charged in connection with the suspected car bomb plots in London and Glasgow.
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 the Glasgow Airport incident a week ago, is accused of conspiring to cause explosions.
