LONDON, Sunday, July 1 — British officials raised the country’s terrorism threat alert to its highest level on Saturday after two men slammed an S.U.V. into entrance doors at Glasgow Airport and turned the vehicle into a potentially lethal fireball.
Less than 38 hours earlier the police uncovered two cars in London rigged to explode with gasoline, gas canisters and nails.
Early Sunday, after a day of fast-moving developments, the London police announced that two people had been arrested in Cheshire, in northwest England, “in connection with the events in London and Scotland.”
The arrests were in addition to those of the two occupants of the blazing car at Glasgow Airport. A witness to the attack said on BBC television that one of the car’s occupants had been ablaze from head to foot, and as he struggled with the police, “was throwing punches and shouting ‘Allah, Allah.’ ”

Poor misunderstood Muzzies...I wonder if that Brit who knocked him down is going to get charged with a hate crime.
I cannot understand why that so called religion is allowed to exist in this country. After all Jim Koresh got smashed.
Ther eis nothing quite like a jihadi on fire. Wish it happened more often.
At the Mpls International airport, most of the cabbies are Muslim, alot of baggage handlers Muslim. Not a good thing.
Although there were questions throughout the day about whether the Glasgow vehicle crashed intentionally, by Saturday night, Sir William Rae, the chief constable of the Strathclyde area around Glasgow, said it was an act of terrorism.
Mr. Rae said one of the two men was found to be wearing a “suspicious device” at the hospital where he was being treated, and the hospital was evacuated. Mr. Rae declined to comment on reporters’ suggestions that the assailant — said to be in critical condition — had been wearing an explosive belt. A person with knowledge of the investigation, however, said that the device was a suicide belt, and also that the car contained propane canisters.
Mr. Rae said the attack at the airport, Scotland’s largest, was linked to the car bombs in London, but he did not elaborate.
I thought it was David Koresh...
Happens to each an every one of those who die without Jesus Christ - so even if we don't see it - you can rest assured that they are "burning" with a fire that is not quenched.
Can we send them there faster though!
A fanatical fatwah flambe for four, coming right up...
Blackened Jihadi with a spicy cucumber sauce.
So why aren't there MSM stories about "lone wolves" as there were when years ago some white nut case attacked a Jewish center and later murdered a Philippine-American postal letter carrier? "Lone wolves" who are not members of any group but are influenced by extremist white supremacy "Christian" Identity rhetoric it was said.
So how come the SPLC sued White Aryan Resistance leader Tom Metzger because his literature and recorded messages influenced a couple of skinheads who had no connection to anything Metzger other than the publicly available literature and dial-in recorded messages. The skinheads were convicted of murder and a jury awarded multi-millions of dollars to the SPLC and client.
How come there's no similar actions against radical Islamist groups here?
Wot?
It would be a hate crime to even think about it? I see.
Never mind.
“All your Allahs are belong to us!”
And the Muslim cabbies refuse to take passengers that have booze on them or their dogs. What are they in that business for and how do they make their money if they refuse to take passengers?
And pork rinds on the side. Mustn't forget to have pork with jihadi.
Bacon wrapped.
“Jim Koresh got smashed.
I thought it was David Koresh...”
Jim Koresh and David Jones.
Funny, isn't it, when most cabbies would scramble for position to get a fare.
