BBC: Blazing car crashes into airport
A car on fire has been driven at the main terminal building at Glasgow Airport.
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.
Strathclyde Police said two people had been arrested and detained in connection with the incident.
CNN: Blazing car rammed into Glasgow airport
Guardian: Burning car driven into Glasgow airport
Four people were today arrested following an apparent attempt to drive a burning car into Glasgow airport.
Larry Johnson (Daily Kos):
Moe Lane (Redstate): Kudos to the security service personnel who designed the defenses: they held, and thus saved lives. There are also reports that private individuals stepped in to assist; kudos to them as well.
And, hey! Looks like we have some live terrorists to aid MI-5 in their investigations. I wonder what their operational security was like? Guess we'll find out...

Note To John Edwards - The War Against Terror is a lot more than a bumper sticker.

[with thick Scottish brough] The two men were Asians, one of them was very badly burned. He looked like a scene out of the Michael Jackson "Thriller" movie.

Britain better wake up to the threat that is islamic terrorism. Now, it's become encamped right in their own back yard. If they don't get a back bone and fight to win, they'll quickly become the islamists biggest target.
Just what was it about being in 2 world wars and subjected to a 20 year indiscriminate IRA bombing campaign that made you think we have no backbone?
but didn't the IRA and the ETA (?) people in Spain often give warnings before setting off bombs to try to reduce innocent lives lost? Not saying these types are angels or anything, but the Islamists intentionally try to kill as many innocents as possible.
Then again Ken "Let's keep raising this auto entrance fee to London" Livingstone says those guys aren't as bad as the IRA and others. This ias a paragraph from that article, but his comments were really all over the place - "rambling" is how I'd describe them.
"In this city, Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends than non-Muslims," he told BBC Radio.
Some higher authority saved Glasgow today. The carnage from the bombs would have been devastating and awful.

With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see right.
are really questioning if yesterday and today are related and if AQ is involved as if AQ is a centralized body as opposed to an ideology, it is the stupidity of those who do not see that the perpetrator is radical islam that will see us all running from vechicle born ied's.
It may well turn out that the people behind this attack and the attempted bombings in london are in fact unaffiliated amateurs. I remind people that recent plots against US military bases and airports were dismissed with scorn by liberal bloggers. Looks like even idiots can cause carnage, so we must take ALL threats seriously.

Apart from the BBC, let's hope that survival instincts are in the ascendant among the British public. I exclude the BBC because they are hopeless.
His euroweenie mindset is the same that prompts an idiot like Larry Johnson to say the attacks in London are trivial, and that we are paranoid to think that people from a certain [un-named] religion of peace are violent reactionaries wishing to slit our throats and cut off our heads just because we are Christians [or Jews, or Hindus, or Buddhists, etc].
Eurabia is becoming a reality because of the indigenous cowardice of the inhabitants, who have become accustomed to a cradle-to-grave existence devoid of challenges or children. The UK may be an exception, but for how long?
And there is the same lassitude in the USA. Someone may call me names for telling what my lyin' eyes have observed from living in Islamic countries for a half-dozen years. And I speak and read Arabic.
Civilization is a great and rare phenomenon in human history, and we are living in an era where a large percentage of those Europeans & Americans benefiting from it are willing to cast it off in favor of vague and woolly multicultural nostrums. These theories are untried and untested theoretical constructs rarely attained even in the most peaceful eras of human history.
Read Toynbee and Spengler and Barzun to find out why and how we are probably going to end up in the Islamofascist clutches of men full of "passionate intensity." Hollywood and the Mainstream Media are blissfully fiddling while our infrastructure starts to decay---all because we do not enforce our laws and we do not regard our achievements as worth saving. Time to man up or simply fade away, like the old soldier MacArthur talked about.

>>They have also described seeing two Asian men
I heard that Asian in Britain refers to people from Pakistan and other neighboring countries. Not China, Korea, Japan and other countries that the US refers to as Asian.

lawyers. And Korans. And prayer rugs. And Imams. And I hope the guys at CAIR have been consulted.
Or they've been turned over to the Pakistanis or Egyptians or Jordanians for humane questioning.
