London Bombers Drove To Glasgow
Captain's Quarters ^ | July 02, 2007 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 07/02/2007 9:04:58 AM PDT by jdm

CNN now reports that the Glasgow attack was staged by the same men who drove the car bombs in London. British authorities have arrested two more men in connection with the series of failed attacks, and they have concluded that al-Qaeda planned and launched the attacks:

Authorities suspect the two men who rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into Glasgow's airport on Saturday are the same people who parked two car bombs in central London a day earlier, security sources told CNN. ...

One of the suspects, who is in critical condition at Royal Alexandra Hospital near Glasgow, is a doctor at the hospital where he is being treated for severe burns, according to the woman who owns his rental house.

It is believed that he shared the house on Neuk Crescent Street in the small Scottish village of Houston, about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from Glasgow's airport, with the other suspect who is in police custody.

Investigators had "been on the trail" of the men as they launched the last pitiful attack on Glasgow's airport, which did little damage to anything but the car and the men themselves. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that al-Qaeda had masterminded the plot:

"It is clear that we are dealing, in general terms, with people who are associated with al-Qaida," Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Sunday.

Meanwhile, police blew up a car at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, where the burned terrorist is in critical condition. They said the car was linked to the London car-bomb attempts, reinforcing the link between those attacks and the Glasgow attack. Raids occurred throughout Britain as investigators have used the initial evidence to start rolling up support resources for these terrorists, who apparently did not hide their trail very well.

One interesting point about CNN's coverage: even though they included quotes from Gordon Brown's statement, they never mention his identification of al-Qaeda as the culprit.

FoxNews is reporting that one of the guys was a doctor trained in Baghdad and had been in England about a year.

The doctor’s colleague is being treated for burns at the same hospital where the doctor had worked.

[Wouldn’t it be terrible if the hospital had a shortage of morphine?]

He might be begging to just have some panties on his head at that point.

How convenient! He should be allowed to treat himself then.... no need to bother the other doctors.

You expected something else from CNN?

Haven’t you heard, the ‘war on terror’ is just a bumper sticker according to the Democrats, which owns CNN.

“al-Qaeda” has become the PC strawman for all muslim terror in order to delay widespread acceptance of what islam as a whole is......and intends.

I don’t give a rip if it was or wasn’t “al-Qaeda”.....it is ALWAYS muslims.

In another article, the doctor’s father was interviewed. Noting that the “good doctor” was caught red-handed, but his dear old dad said he was innocent. Please, why do they not only try to kill us but insult our intelligence as well?

So much for Radical Islam only preying on the dissaffected, poor, yutes of the Muslim world. Just another hole in that talking point from the media/enablers.

I DO hope that the police are watching the hospital staff, just on the odd chance that this roasted toad has some friends (or co-conspirators) among them who might want to help him get to paradise before the authorities can ‘encourage the participant to assist’ in their investigations.

Among the drugs they should give the terrorist doctor is truth serum with Scotland Yard interrogators in the room. You think maybe they will?
