Glasgow Airport Terror Suspect Kafeel Dies
Arab News ^ | Saturday, 4, August, 2007 (20, Rajab, 1428) | Mushtak Parker

The Scottish Procurator Fiscal ordered a postmortem on the body of Dr. Kafeel Ahmed, one of the two terror suspects involved in the terror attack at Glasgow Airport on June 30.

Kafeel, a 27-year-old from Bangalore in India, died late Thursday evening at Glasgow Royal Infirmary as a result of 90 degree burns he received to his torso after driving a blazing Jeep Cherokee laden with gas and petrol cylinders, and nails, into the main terminal building at the airport.

Because of the severity of his burns he was later transferred to the specialist burns unit at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where doctors treating him warned that he was unlikely to survive his injuries. He spent 33 days in the unit’s intensive care ward.

The Glasgow incident followed two attempted terror attacks in Central London the day before using two car bombs packed with petrol and gas cylinders and bolts and nails. Police confirmed that both attacks were linked and centered around a group of doctors working in the National Health Service in the UK. They arrested eight people in a matter of days, including six doctors all working in the NHS and a laboratory technician.

Two medics, Dr. Mohammed Asha, 26, from Newcastle-Under-Lyme, and Dr. Sabeel Ahmed, 26, from Liverpool, have respectively been charged with conspiracy to cause explosions and with failing to disclose information that could have helped police arrest a suspected terrorist.

Ahmed obtained a doctorate in design and technology at Anglia Polytechnic University. In 2001 he completed a post-graduate course in aeronautical engineering at Queen’s University in Belfast. He is the brother of Dr. Sabeel Ahmed, and a cousin of Dr. Mohammed Haneef, who was arrested in Australia for allegedly assisting a terrorist organization but was last week released without charges and is now back at home in Bangalore.

While Allah is oiling up 72 fresh ones, we need to consider the threat against us. These are some seriously gifted and talented and completely homicidal jihadists coming after us.

There are 10s of thousands just like him in the US, going to our schools, living next door, etc. Too many to track.

Kafeel Ahmed is said to have told his family that a previous “presentation” had failed - suspected to have been the attempted attack on a London nightclub the day before - and asked for them to pray for his success in a second attempt.

It emerged that Kafeel Ahmed left his home in Bangalore, India, on May 5 to travel to Britain, telling his family he was involved in a “confidential project”.

According to family members he told them: “I am involved in a large-scale confidential project. It is about global warming. I cannot reveal the details.

Friends and neighbours of the Ahmed family say the brothers changed dramatically three years ago after joining the Tablighi Jamaat missionary group.

The boys’ parents, Maqbool and Zakia Ahmed, live in a smart suburb of Bangalore and are both doctors who worked in Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Tablighi Jamaat is Arabic for the “group that propagates the faith,” and its members visit mosques and college campuses in small missionary bands, preaching a return to purist Islamic values and recruiting other Muslim men

“We have a significant presence of Tablighi Jamaat in the United States, and we have found that Al Qaeda used them for recruiting, now and in the past,” said Michael J. Heimbach, the deputy chief of the F.B.I.’s international terrorism section.

Violent groups have been well served by the Tablighi Jamaat’s apolitical stance and ability to move missionaries around countries and across borders.

He played with fire and got burned. He tried to bring suffering to others but received it himself. Justice was served.

Maybe it was 90 degrees centigrade. That might hurt a bit.

I imagine there will be a huge catfight among the DemocRATS as the selections are being made as to who will be in the delegation sent to represent the DNC at this maggot’s funeral.

Disturbing. Modern liberal western cultures are not adapted, socially and certainly not legally, to deal with this.

The border situation is totally inexcusable and a tribute to the globalist philosophy of the current president, but the folks of the caliber described in this article are going to be coming on visas.
