Bet they’re not noting that the 4th one, the flaming one, was probably under arrest, too.

Skynews witness said that perp who was on fire actually tried to get back to the vehicle and stoke the vehicle fire as he was burning.

[That is the mentality we are dealing with.]

All you said, plus check with CAIR that the terminology used is not “offensive.”

Thanks for the link!

A woman is being interviewed now...she happened upon the scene and witnessed a man who had been badly burned (”his body was blackened”) and who “was being restrained by police, and next to him was another man who was also being restrained...”

Please read the SKY News story.http://www.news.sky.com/skynews
**Everything** appears very much like the London operation.
Asian man fighting with Coppers, etc.
This is a Terrorist event even if the assholes in charge of lulling the plebes to sleep don’t want you to think so.
May I suggest the outstanding reportage and professional analysis at:http://www.counterterroristblog.org

If not for a LOT of luck and some poorly prepped Islamic Jihadis, this would have been a couple of days to remember for the UK, dwarfing 07/07.

I don’t get CNN, but the local Denver news broke it about 45 minutes later, by email.

Excerpted from later in the story:

The reaction of members of the public was not to help the men in the car, but to restrain them, he told the BBC.

I believe a very alert London ambulance driver deserves some direct credit.

Arrests After Burning Jeep Hits Airport
Updated: 17:06, Saturday June 30, 2007

Three people have been arrested after a jeep was driven into the terminal building at Glasgow airport and caught fire, police have confirmed.
Witnesses reported hearing a series of loud “bangs” and saw at least two men - one of whom was on fire - emerge from the vehicle.

The jeep on fireThere are reports of several injuries.

The Cherokee 4x4 smashed into a glass door at Terminal One of the airport, the busiest in Scotland, which has now been closed.

Witnesses said some of the hundreds of people in the area removed gas cylinders from the jeep before it caught fire.

But there are reports the men were trying to fling petrol onto the flames.

Scott Gleeson said he saw the jeep speed up and swerve towards the terminal at an angle to hit the door.

“They were obviously trying to get through to cause as much damage as possible,” he said.

Police say it is too early to say whether the incident - which comes after failed car bomb attacks in London - was related to terrorism.

Holidaymaker Stephen Clarkson said he knocked one of the men to the floor before police intervened.

He said: “There was an Asian male. He was lying on the floor and he was on fire, the Jeep was on fire as well.

There was chaos at the scene”The fellow got up and started fighting with police. I managed to knock the Asian fellow to the ground and four police officers got on top of him.”

He added: “His whole body was on fire. He was quite a big fellow and was disorientated otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to knock him down.”

James Edgar told Sky News: “People were running past like they has missed their flight.

“They told us all to get out of the airport.

“Everyone was in a panic and police and security were scuffling with an Asian gentleman.”

He added: “There was a lot of anger - if the crowds had got hold of this gentleman it would have been the end of him.”

"FR scooped Fox on this one."

So did MSNBC. But now FOXNEWS, courtesy of SKY NEWS, is much more factual than MSNBC.

Per an eye witness on Sky news the airport has two lanes in front of the airport used by buses and taxi's only. This vehicle drove past the gate looped out to get a better angle and tried to drive thru the double glass doors. This is not some driver mishap.

point of order.

We are asked to post a link to source when quoting even in the discussions.

Now attempting to crash through an airport entrance with a jeep? Seems like an incredibly low-tech pathetic attempt to "do something".

It is difficult to tell whether these kinds of things are copycats or part of a planned cell group. Maybe investigations will reveal that later.

We do know the world is dealing with Islamic fanatics, so, whether planned groups or copycats, they have a common goal. And the rest of the world has to remain vigilant.
