Car on fire crashes into airport

A car on fire has been driven at the main terminal building at Glasgow Airport, police have confirmed.

Eyewitnesses have described a Jeep Cherokee being driven at speed towards the building with flames coming out from underneath.

They have also described seeing two Asian men, one of whom was on fire, who had been in the car.

The airport has been evacuated and all flights suspended following the incident at 1515 BST.

One eyewitness said: "I heard the sound of a car's wheels spinning and smoke coming out.

"I saw a Jeep Cherokee apparently as if it was trying to get right through the doors into the terminal building.

"There were flames coming out from underneath then some men appeared from in amongst the flames.

"The police ran over and the people started fighting with the police. I then heard what sounded like an explosion."

Eye-witness Richard Gray told BBC News 24: "A green Jeep was in the middle of the doorway burning.

"There was an Asian guy who was pulled out of the car by two police officers, who he was trying to fight off. They've got him on the ground.

"The car didn't actually explode. There were a few pops and bangs which presumably was the petrol."

Taxi driver Ian Crosby said: "This was no accident. This was a deliberate attack on Glasgow Airport."

The reaction of members of the public was not to help the men in the car, but to restrain them, he told the BBC.

Mr Crosby, who said he served in Northern Ireland, told how he shepherded people away from the scene in case of a secondary explosion or a nail-bomb.

Two men, one of whom was reported to be badly burned, were seen being led away in handcuffs.

Why u think so? Brown is the same camp baCK THEN. And why would it matter anyhoo.

Fucking George Buch man...stiring up the hornests nest

I can't write what i thought.....I am on thin ice anyway.

I think it's a co-ordinated campaign to coincide with Brown taking over as PM.

News says no-one hurt

Damn i just saw the pic...Shanti and i were stood right there 3 weeks ago!

The US and Britain need to stop getting involved in the mess of Iraq.

Yeah they deserve it!

OY.


The US and Britten do need to get the hell out of Iraq. Moreover, they need to take a strong hard look at their own foreign policy.


HOWEVER Terrorist are to blame for acts of terrorism, period. I've got the sinking feeling in my stomach that this attach was perpetrated by either British nationals of Muslim religious or Arabic descent (God help me if they end up being yellow skin Asians ).
There is alot of anger in the Muslim community world wide right now over, of all petty things, the Knighting of Rushi. Yes, I know he wrote things about Mohamad in a not so flattering light, but the reaction to it is petty and barbaric regardless and I don't give a shit who thinks otherwise. You insulted my religion so I'll take some of yall out with this car bomb??? Bitch Please! Barbaric.

But honestly, these guys are so delusional and angry I would imagine any stupid thing will trigger an act like that.

Oops. "These guys" does not mean the Muslim community as a whole, but those within that community who see fit to take the religion and use it as clarion call for violence., though I would like to see more denouncements from it. I mean, I'm tired of hearing the Pope make all the denouncements--nobody listens to him. (Catholics, please don't car bomb Tampa. Thank you.)

So bringing the troops back home wont work? Is that what you're saying?

Drove through there I year ago on the way to Edinburgh.

gyro34 said:

I wasn't sure what you were saying, yes it is a nasty mess and I am all for pulling out but what happens after that?

The threat level has been raised again. They are winning as it is scaring many people and increasing racial tension.
