Kafeel Ahmed dies in hospital

LONDON: One of the men wanted in connection with the failed June 30 car bomb attack at Glasgow airport died in hospital on Thursday, British police said.

Kafeel Ahmed, 27, suffered severe burns in the attack at Scotland's biggest airport, which came a day after a similar incident in London.

Ahmed, from Bangalore in India, was the driver of a Jeep Cherokee which crashed into the terminal building.

He was being kept under armed police guard in a hospital specialist unit. "We can confirm that the man seriously injured during the course of the incident at Glasgow airport on Saturday June 30 has died in Glasgow Royal Infirmary," said a Strathclyde Police spokesman.

"The man died earlier this evening and the circumstances surrounding the death have been reported to the procurator fiscal."

Three male doctors are in British custody charged in connection with the failed attacks.

One of them is Ahmed's brother Sabeel, 26. He appeared in court last month and was remanded until August 13 charged with withholding information on terrorism.
