LONDON, July 2 (Reuters) - A doctor who trained in Iraq and worked at a hospital in Scotland is one of seven people arrested by British anti-terrorism police hunting those behind attempted car bombings, a police source said on Monday.

The police source said Bilal Abdulla, another doctor called Mohammed Asha and his wife were among those arrested.

According to Britain's General Medical Council, Abdulla qualified as a doctor in Baghdad in 2004 and is a registered medical practitioner in Britain.

A switchboard operator at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, near Scotland's biggest city Glasgow, said Abdulla worked there.

Asha qualified as a doctor in 2004 in Jordan and is also a registered medical practitioner in Britain. British media said Asha worked at a hospital in central England.
