Summer Blockbuster - Weegee Style
Has this story actually been on the TV news? I haven’t seen it anywhere other than on the BBC news site. Was it only on in Scotland? Am I just not watching enough TV? I thought they’d be all over the story, what with the bombing attempts in London and all that. (Though it still sounds like the work of some Buckied up Steven Segal fans to me…)
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.
The airport has been evacuated and all flights suspended following the incident at 1515 BST.
A Whitehall spokesman said the incident was not being treated as a national security threat however the prime minister is being kept informed of developments and is expected to chair a meeting of Cobra - the emergency committee later.
