GLASGOW, Scotland, July 15 (UPI) -- Two medical trainees arrested in the failed terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom have been released from custody and will not face charges.

Scotland Yard officials said the trainee doctors, ages 25 and 28, were released after authorities decided not to charge the pair in relation to the foiled terror attacks in London and Glasgow, Scotland, The Sunday Telegraph reported.

Investigators are still questioning Dr. Mohammed Asha, 26, regarding the attacks, but must officially charge him by next Saturday or release him, as well.

Authorities have charged Dr. Sabeel Ahmed, 26, and Mohammed Haneef, 27, in relation to the terror plot.

Ahmed was charged with having vital knowledge about the botched attacks before they occurred, while Haneef is facing 15 years in prison on charges he aided those behind the terrorist plot.

Haneef was arrested in Australia and British authorities are currently asking their Australian counterparts to extradite him for questioning, the British newspaper said.
