Terrorist Campaign Day 2 - Attack on Glasgow Airport in Scotland

At least 2 people drove a Landrover into the main entrance of Glasgow Airport in Scotland.  Steel barriers installed to prevent such attacks stopped the Landrover, which reportedly was travelling at high speed.

The vehicle caught on fire.  Both people got out of the car, one was on fire, but attempting to open up the back of the vehicle.  One was reportedly carrying a cylinder of gasoline, possibly to take into the actual aiport to detonate.  The people were arrested almost immediately and one may have been taken to a hospital.  Flames from the vehicle were shooting straight up from the vehicle to the ceiling about 10 feet above according to eye witnesses.

This attack follows two attempts yesterday in London.  A car was found with vapors looking like smoke coming from the vehicle.  The bomb squad came in and disarmed the behicle which was filled with numerous cylinders of gasoline.

Much later that day, an attendant at an automobile impound lot watching the news of the car bomb attempt unfold on television, noticed that one of the cars in their impound lot smelled like gasoline.  The authorities were called in and found the vehicle filled with fuel cylinders.  The vehicle had apparently been towed from the same location as the first car.  It had been illegally parked.

Many news pundits are calling the Glasgow attack as a sign that this is a complete campaign being launched by multiple people or groups around Great Britain. 

Pundits are speculating that these attacks are very similar to attacks in Iraq.  There is concern that Iraq like tactics are being exported to the United Kingdom.

President Bush just announced that there is no credible information of an imminent attack on the US.
