LONDON - Two doctors have denied plotting to explode car bombs in London and Glasgow.

Iraqi Bilal Abdullah and Jordanian Mohammed Asha say they are innocent of charges of conspiring to murder and to cause explosions.

Police arrested 28-year-old Abdullah and 27-year-old Asha after a botched attempt by a third person to drive a burning Jeep into Glasgow Airport on June 30.
