Uk On Highest Level of Security Alert -updated Posted: 06-30-07 10:46am
'A jeep has driven into the terminal
building at Glasgow airport and caught
fire, police have confirmed.
Witnesses reported hearing a series of
loud "bangs" and saw at least two men -
one of whom was on fire - emerge from the
vehicle.
It is thought a Cherokee 4x4 smashed into
a glass door at the airport, the busiest
in Scotland.
Witnesses said people removed gas
cylinders from the jeep before it caught
fire.
Police say it is too early to say whether
the incident - which comes after failed
car bomb attacks in London - was related
to terrorism.
Police, fire crews and ambulances are at
the scene.'
From sky news website
'Police confirmed 3 people arrested after
car driven into glasgow airport'

Update
Police confirmed 2 people have been
arrested, not 3.
The hospital, where one of the asian men
from inside the car who was on fire was
taken to for treatment, is being
evacuated.
Armed police have closed off vehicle
access to several airports in the uk and
suspended flights.
The Prime minister is having a meeting
with the countries emergency committee
'cobra' in a short while.
Bollards prevented the car driving any
further into the airport.
Now being viewed as a terrorist attack.
Its been on the american news also.

I wonder if it's all tied in with .Salman
.Rushdie getting a knighthood or if it's
because the anniversary of the 7/7
bombings is coming up?
Scary stuff.

It is scary. 3 attacks in 24 hours.
The government have just raised the
national security alert level to 'critical' which is the
highest level.
'Critical'
means an attack is expected
'imminently'.
So they think something else is going to
happen?
Just editing this because they have
confirmed they - are expecting another
attack imminently.

Another update
Police news conference said the suspect
taken to hospital after being engulfed in
flames is in a critical condition
suffering from severe burns. The hospital
has been evacuated because 'the suspect
was found to be wearing a suspicious
device', 'suspcious device found at
hospital'. (not sure if they mean 1 device
there or 2)
Airport attack has been linked to London
attack yesterday.
The other suspect was seen throwing petrol
over the car already on fire, and tried to
get it further into the airport. He tried
to fight police and is now being held at
the place for terror suspects.
USA airports have increased security too.
The uk remains on the highest level of
security, 'more attacks are expected'.
The whole world's gone mad. I fear for my
daughter's future sometimes.

I think about that every day. I think
these terrorists should go to a secluded
island and have their way with themselves.
