A man who suffered severe burns during an attack on Glasgow airport in Scotland has died in hospital.
Kafeel Ahmed (27) was one of two occupants of a Jeep that rammed the front doors of the airport on June 30th and burst into flames. There were no casualties in the building, and both men were arrested.
Mr Ahmed, who died last night, had been in hospital since June 30th with 90 per cent burns. Police kept the engineer from India under armed guard at the hospital's burns unit.
The day before the airport incident, two cars were found in central London with bombs packed with gas canisters, petrol and nails - which failed to explode. At least one bomb was to have been detonated by a mobile phone that police recovered.
The government said the two incidents were part of an al-Qaeda plot, and Britain's security alert was raised to "critical", its highest level, for several days.
Eight people were detained, and three of them were charged with planning terrorist attacks. Several of the suspects were doctors.
