London ? A British-Iraqi doctor was convicted of conspiracy to murder Tuesday for failed car bomb attacks upon young nightclubbers and rescue workers in London and airport travelers in Scotland. Prosecutors said he plotted to kill hundreds in revenge for the deaths of loved ones in Iraq.

Bilal Abdulla, 29, who is due to be sentenced today at London’s Woolwich Crown Court, was also convicted of conspiring to cause explosions in central London and at Glasgow airport.

His co-defendant, Jordanian neurologist Mohammed Asha, 28, was acquitted of playing any role in the plot.

Abdulla represents an unlikely type of militant: a British-born doctor who had pledged an oath to protect human lives. Anti-terrorism officials said Abdulla’s case challenged the British public to broaden their thinking about potential homegrown threats.

All of Abdulla’s planned attacks fizzled. Lethal car bombs placed near crowded London nightspots did not go off, and an attempt to ram a blazing Jeep into the passenger terminal at Glasgow’s airport was also thwarted.
