Marwa was arrested along with her doctor husband Mohammed Asha on the M6 motorway in Cheshire on June 30, hours after a blazing jeep crashed into the terminal building of Glasgow airport.

On Saturday, Iraqi doctor Bilal Abdullah became the first person charged in connection with the suspected terror plots.

Abdullah was remanded to custody when he appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London.
