AN NHS doctor yesterday told a jury of his panic after realising his friend was involved in a terror attack.
Dr Mohammad Asha, 28, believed the "whole world" was watching him after a Jeep Cherokee laden with petrol, gas and nails crashed into Glasgow airport in June 2007.
The medic said he feared his close friend Dr Bilal Abdulla, 29, was involved.
He was accused yesterday of trying to hide evidence by burning and dumping documents linking him to Abdulla in the wake of the attack, and of supporting the attacks by handing over funds and offering Abdulla and engineer Kafeel Ahmen "spiritual guidance".
Asha, of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire; and Iraqi Abdulla, of Royal Alexandra Hospital, Paisley, deny conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions likely to endanger life.
The trial continues.
