(Newser) – A fourth doctor has been charged in the car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow. Mohammed Jamil Asha, 26, is accused of conspiring with two men who tried to blow up a Jeep in the doorway of the Glasgow International Airport, and "others unknown," according to the indictment. Asha is scheduled to appear in court in London today.

The Jordanian-trained doctor was arrested June 30, the day of the Glasgow attack, while driving in northern England with his wife, who was later released. Three other doctors, including one living in Australia, face charges ranging from conspiracy to support to withholding information. An engineer suffering serious burns in the Glasgow attack is still in the hospital and has not yet been charged.

Der Spiegel tags along as one woman ticks off facts on familiar sites such as the London Bridge, along with tidbits not to be found on more official tours: "This is where I used to sleep sometimes," she says of a corner in the London Borough Market.

New Hotel Trend: Women-Only Rooms

Dukes in London is most recent to test the idea

(NEWSER) - In the new trend among high-end hotels, men need not apply. The ritzy Dukes in London is the latest to experiment with women-only rooms, notes Katy Holland at Aol . The idea is to cater to single females or women traveling in groups, and the no-boys-allowed rule applies even to the hotel staff that caters to the rooms. The Naumi in Singapore and Premier in New York City have similar offers, though a Denmark government agency recently ordered the Bella Sky in Copenhagen to stop offering women-only floors. More»

Only one local police force currently uses a drone—a radio-controlled mini-helicopter—for surveillance, but three other forces have used them, including one that was lost after it crashed into a local river. An Air Force base in Essex also has three which could be mobilized for the games. More»

(NEWSER) - On a ritzy street in London earlier this week, thieves snatched about $63,000 worth of high-end fashion wear from the Marc Jacobs Spring 2012 collection. The stolen items include clothing, shoes, and handbags that had been showcased on a New York runway back in September, reports the Wall Street Journal .

(NEWSER) - There are extravagant home purchases and then there are extravagant ones: French billionaire François Pinault just forked over $32 million for a London home. The eyebrow-raising detail? It has just two bedrooms. Pinault, father of Salma Hayek's hubby, is the head honcho of PPR, the luxury goods company that owns Gucci and Stella McCartney, reports the Telegraph . His new Chelsea abode may be short on bedrooms, but it does have some other perks, explain neighbors, including "one of the few triple-height ceilings in London." Maybe bunk beds are in order? More»
