NHS doctor Bilal Abdulla, 29, wrote he was planning to kill in revenge for injustices against Muslims by British and American soldiers, Woolwich Crown Court was told.

A draft of the will was found on a badly-burned laptop in the remains of a Jeep Cherokee that ploughed into the airport's main terminal building.

The computer also contained clips of speeches by bin Laden.

Jonathan Laidlaw QC, prosecuting, said Abdulla wrote the document because he expected to die in the attack alongside a second man, Kafeel Ahmed, 28.

He said: "This document is addressed to, among others, the leaders of jihad in Iraq, to bin Laden and to the brothers or soldiers of jihad in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Palestine and other areas of the world.

"The attacks he was planning were intended to kill. They were in revenge for the injustices as the defendant sees them that the British and American people and their armies visit on the Muslim communities."

Abdulla, on trial with a third man, Mohammed Asha, 28, was arrested at the airport despite trying to fight off police officers and members of the public.

His accomplice Ahmed, who drove the vehicle and helped fill it with gas canisters and petrol, died in hospital several weeks later from burns.

Abdulla, of Houston, near Glasgow, and Asha, of Newcastle-under-Lyme, worked as doctors at NHS hospitals in Scotland and Staffordshire. They deny conspiring to murder and cause explosions.

Abdulla and Ahmed launched the suicide attack after attempts to detonate car bombs in London's West End the previous day failed, the court was told.

Mobile phone detonators in two Mercedes cars failed to ignite a cocktail of incendiary chemicals.

Mr Laidlaw said CCTV footage captured the two men catching rickshaws to escape the scene after parking the vehicles – one outside the Tiger Tiger nightclub in Haymarket and the other in adjoining Cockspur Street.

The court heard "concerted attempts" were made to set off the mobile phone detonators just before 1.56am but only one of the four devices partly exploded.

The men stayed overnight at an east London hotel before returning to Scotland via a meeting with Asha at his workplace, Stoke's Royal Infirmary, the jury heard.

Mr Laidlaw said the pair then worked on preparing a third vehicle for an attack on Glasgow airport.

At about 5.30am Abdulla sent an email to his colleagues in which he pretended to be his sister and said he had been paralysed in a road accident abroad.

Mr Laidlaw said: "Presumably this was written with the expectation he would be killed in the Glasgow Airport attack and it would not be possible to identify his body.

The court was then shown dramatic CCTV footage of the moment the car bomb was driven into the airport terminal.

The film included the four-wheel drive vehicle becoming engulfed with flames and
an Asian man grappling with police.

Mr Laidlaw said Ahmed and Abdulla threw lit petrol bombs as they shouted "Allahu Akbar", meaning God is great.

Mr Laidlaw said CS gas was used to restrain Ahmed and a member of the public suffered a broken leg when he was kicked by Abdulla.

The trial continues.
