Two "Asian" men rammed a Jeep Cherokee into the main terminal at Glasgow airport with the vehicle bursting into flames. The men in the car and two others are reported to be under arrest by Strathclyde police. Eye witnesses say that this was no accident and that the driver deliberately swung the car into the entry way. According to Sky News, one witness said that the men were "throwing petrol around".Who is behind this attack, what their motive might be, whether it is part of some larger events, if it is related to the failed London bomb attacks, if there is some religious element (Heaven knows what), or if anyone named "Mohammad" is involved remains an utter mystery and will remain so for as long as the major media outlets can manage.
Update: Sky News is now reporting that only two men have been arrested.
Update: Witness tells Sky News that one of the suspects shouted "Allah" while attacking a policemen.
Update: Fox News has reported that Britain's threat level has been raised to "critical", meaning that another attack is thought imminent. The BBC confirms.
Update: The BBC is reporting that two people have been detained in Cheshire in connection with the bombings in Glasgow & London. Looks as if the two incidents are part of the same plot.
Update: The Jihadist who was taken to hospital in critical condition from severe burns was wearing a suicide bomb belt.
Update: CNN reports that there may be a third Jihadist in the Jeep. Also, the burns of the bomb belt terrorist are explained:
How anyone can read this and think it's no problem if these madmen get their hands on nuclear weapons is beyond me.Witness Jackie Kennedy told the BBC that after the crash, a passenger in the Jeep doused himself with fuel from a can and ignited it, then got out of the vehicle. Airport police used fire extinguishers on him, and he fell to the ground, she said.
"I realized that this was obviously deliberately done -- the fact that the guy was in flames and seemed to be enjoying himself, even smiling," Kennedy told the BBC.

ReplyDeleteClearly, this has all been a plot by the Bush-Cheney-Rove junta to restore public faith in their illegal and immoral war on "terror"...
Seriously, may quick convalescence come to the injured; swift, sane actions undertaken by Commons...but let's not hold our collective breath.
What is it about these terrorists that makes leftists so eager to excuse their actions?
ReplyDeleteLeftists love terrorists because terrorists are attacking the societies which leftists live in.
ReplyDeleteThe modern Left is composed of people who don't really like modern life. They don't like cars, they don't like television, they don't like big-box stores or fast food, they loathe suburbs, they hate all forms of pop culture, they hate sports, they despise churchgoing, they dislike families and those who have them...
So naturally any exotic foreigner who's trying to kill ordinary Americans and Britons is a hero to the Left. It's what they'd do except that they're such incredible cowards both morally and physically that they think waving an obscenely-worded protest sign at a television camera is "bravery."

Lefties have it in their collective heads that once the West has departed from the affairs of the Middle East and "respect" Islam (i.e. embrace Dhimmi status) then and only then will terrorism will cease.
ReplyDeleteThus they fight tooth and nail against any attempt by the West in taking measures to defend itself, it will apologize for--or outright celebrate--the actions of Jihadi terrorism, and acknowledge their own leaders and societies as greater threats to liberty and security than the Islamist bastards.
The modern Left is our new, collective Quisling. They’re the sort of people who would not merely roll in the Trojan horse, but would also bust open the hatch--all in the belief that their actions will gain security and peace.
The most dangerous man in the world isn’t the evil bastard in the cave; it’s the naïve bastard in the legislature.
