Flaming SUV Slams into Scotland Airport

Jun 30, 05:34 PM

Current Headlines: Two men drove an SUV in front of the main terminal at Glasgow Airport and set it on fire Saturday in what appeared to be another terrorist attack on Britain.

Both men were taken into custody, The Scotsman reported. One was hospitalized with severe burns.

Lynsey McBean of Erskine was close to the Jeep at the time and watched as a plastic barrier stopped it just outside the entrance.

One of the men, I think it was the driver, brought out a plastic canister and poured it under the car, she said. He then set light to it. At that point, a policeman came over, the passenger got out of the car and and punched him.

The government raised the security level to its highest point, critical, after the attack.

Investigators believe the same group of people was behind the car bombs found early Friday in the London theater district. Both were defused.

Police said one of the men arrested at Glasgow had another explosive device on his person, NPR reported.

No injuries were reported to police or bystanders.
