ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Police have appealed for information regarding the vehicle which was used in a terrorist attack at Glasgow Airport.

They want to hear from anyone with information about the green Jeep Cherokee registration number L808 RDT.

He also appealed for any photos and videos taken by members of the public during and before the attack.

At a news conference in Glasgow, ACC Malcolm said the suspect being treated in hospital for severe burns was believed to be the driver of the car.

He remains in a critical condition and is under armed police guard at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Paisley.

Police have confirmed that a controlled explosion was carried out on a vehicle at the hospital.

I am satisfied that this investigation is progressing dynamically at pace

“Five arrested over terror attacks as airport chaos bites”

• Brown’s new terrorism advisor: Attacks are “textbook al-Qaeda”

• Controlled explosion of car at Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley
Five people were arrested as police continued to search properties around the UK in the wake of three failed car bombings.

With Britain on its highest state of terror alert, air passengers struggled to reach airports as tough vehicle restrictions came into effect.

The Glasgow airport incident led to a ban on the picking up and dropping off of passengers by vehicles at airport forecourts nationwide.”
