Car rams into Scottish airport terminal: Police

Incident occurs a day after Britain thwarted two car bombs in London

GLASGOW, Scotland, June 30 (Reuters) - A four-wheel-drive vehicle raced across a central reservation and rammed into the front doors of Glasgow airport's main terminal today before exploding in flames, Glasgow police and witnesses said. A Glasgow police spokeswoman said there were no immediate reports of any injuries and said the blaze was under control.

Witnesses told the BBC that the vehicle, a Land Rover or a Jeep Cherokee, had exploded shortly after crashing into the glass front doors of the terminal, and said there was a heavy stench of petrol.“It raced across the central reservation and went straight into the building,” said taxi driver Ian Crosby outside the terminal. Crosby said a stocky Asian man had got out of the car and was quickly tackled to the ground by bystanders.
