Thread: Glasgow airport suicide bomb attack?

Still unclear whether any of the recent incidents were allah related, but all any terrorist outfit needs to do is drop a hint that the West End (Glasgow, Manchester, Brum...) will be devastated tomorrow, and do nothing but sit back and chuckle as Central London is locked down for a few days.

Do that a number of times till the people are doped on alert fatigue and the authorities stretched to the point of impotence, and the time becomes ripe for more of the expected.

Fek'em, and their big cheese.

Has a travel warning been issued for the pommy isle's yet?

^
Move along...nothing to see here.
No terrorists 'round here, mate...

Having drivin around central london a little bit (in a service vehicle) i was surprised how easy it would be for a bomber to level a large chunk of it.

There are many tight little lanes around bank, covent garden, cheapside etc. that a cleaning van (like mine at the time) or similar could drive down and .....
the crude bombs the IRA attacked canary warf with would pale beside todays car bombs.
glad i'm not driving around there no more.

Why???
Was there any damage to the airport?

The impression is that the car has not been made safe.

These folks don't seem to be very intelligent. They've attacked Glasgow airport which is in a region run by a political party opposed to the present British government and which also opposed the invasion of Iraq.

Glasgow and Liverpool Airports were shut down many hours ago. Just Glasgow got bombed though.

It is, and may seem like headless chickens running about but sadly that's as effective as they're gonna get.

While the authorities need to be seen to be doing something to protect the people and country and way of life, they can't realistically be expected to stop any serious effort at carnage and disruption, and certainly not without breaching some individual rights, even, it seems time and again, for reasons of national security.

Those at the top have the awesome responsibility to choose between being on the run by terrorists and having to answer to a frightened and understandably enraged though mostly fickle and easily led public, or being on the run by political opponents, career vocalists and aggressive media for being no better than 'them' in violating 'civilised rules'.

This applies to any free nation under seige from within by people so against civilised values that they're willing to destroy themselves in the process.

What would these "civilised values" be?
I wonder if you are aware of Britain's history of involvement in Iraq - the latest stunt triggered the recent wave of bombings.

Trolling again Stroller ?

While I don't agree with our involvement in Iraq, it in no way justifies random attacks on civilians in the UK by arseholes too cowardly to take on the authorities directly.

Suprised you're not blaming the recent attacks in the UK on the 'K' Salman Rushdie received.

^ surprised they have not found some way to try and put it on the Americans shoulders yet !!!

I thought it was obvious

the Glasgow vehicle was a Jeep - I wonder if the protagonists appreciated the irony

in answer to my own question

This advice has been reviewed and reissued. It contains new information under Safety and Security: Terrorism (UK authorities raise threat level to the highest level ‘Critical’ in response to events in London and Glasgow). The overall level of the advice has increased.
Summary

• We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution and monitor developments that might affect your safety in the United Kingdom because of the high risk of terrorist attack.
• In response to the events in the last 48 hours in London and Glasgow, the United Kingdom authorities have raised the UK threat level to 'Critical'. This is the highest level and means that a terrorist attack is expected imminently. The levels of policing in London have been increased, and authorities are urging the public to remain alert at all times. UK authorities have reviewed security at Heathrow and other major airports and have introduced enhanced security measures. All flights to Glasgow airport have been cancelled. Other airports may be affected. Australians should contact their airline for further information. They should pay close attention to their personal security and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security threats.
• On 29 June 2007 two car bombs were defused in central London. The first was in Haymarket, a popular area for shopping and entertainment, and the second in a car park in Park Lane, near Trafalgar Square. Had the bombs detonated they would have caused significant loss of life. On 30 June 2007 a vehicle was set alight and driven into the main terminal at Glasgow airport.

Poor misunderstood Mohammoud...

Link pls for the connection between recent events and Iraq.

As to the not too subtle difference between civilised values and those of the barbarian demanding that we turn the clock back 700 years, if you don't know it's probably a waste of bandwidth trying to explain it.

I already know but go on, remind us that the forces in Iraq are fallible, Western civilisation is imperfect, and indeed not all mossies are terrorists.

these guys read more like laural and hardy than terrorists. what fuckig fools.

FCO update:

This advice has been reviewed and reissued with amendments to Summary and Political Situation section (removing reference to demonstration planned on 24 June). The overall level of the advice has not changed.

• We advise against all but essential travel to, or through, the far southern provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Songkhla. There continue to be frequent attacks, including bombings and shootings, due to insurgency and civil unrest. Most recently, on 22 May 2007 a British national was among seven people injured in a bomb blast in Yala.
  
  
• There is a high threat from terrorism throughout Thailand. Attacks could be indiscriminate and against civilian targets in public places including those places frequented by foreigners. On31 December 2006, eight bombs exploded at various locations in Bangkok, killing three people and injuring 36 others, including six foreigners. Thai authorities warned that there could be further attacks in Bangkok at any time and strengthened security in the city.
  
  
• The martial law, which was imposed in Thailand following the 19 September 2006 coup, has now been lifted in 41 (of the total of 76) provinces, including Bangkok. However, there remains a risk of further political instability in Thailand and you should avoid any demonstrations or large gatherings of people.
  
  
• Penalties for possession, distribution or manufacture of drugs are severe and can include the death penalty.
  
  
• Outbreaks of Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) in Thailand have resulted in a small number of human fatalities. As a precaution, you should avoid live animal markets, poultry farms and other places where you may come into close contact with domestic, caged or wild birds; and ensure poultry and egg dishes are thoroughly cooked. For further information see Health section below and also read Avian and Pandemic Influenza Factsheet.
  
  
• Around 850,000 British nationals visit Thailand every year. The main types of incident for which British nationals require consular assistance in Thailand in 2006 were for: replacing lost or stolen passports (over 750 cases); deaths, mostly from road accidents or related to drink/drugs (over 250 cases); and hospitalisations (over 220 cases). The majority of consular cases occur in Bangkok, Pattaya and Koh Samui.
  
  
• We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake. Please see the “Travel Insurance” page of the FCO website.

Not a word about the UK so I guess it's safe enough.

it seems a lot of these pricks have had an education in the uk and have had social help in one way or another.

get the feckers to work and then they wouldn't have idle minds

yes indeed, the education system has a lot to answer for

as for the "feckers" working, I seem to have read that most of the previous bus bombers had jobs, one even being a solicitor?
