A controlled explosion was carried out on the car, packed with 60 litres of petrol, gas cylinders and nails, in Haymarket, near Piccadilly Circus. An ambulance crew saw smoke coming from the green metallic Mercedes, near the Tiger Tiger nightclub at 0130 BST. Later part of London's Park Lane was closed to traffic after reports of a suspicious vehicle. A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said that Park Lane was closed at Marble Arch to Hyde Park Corner and a 200m cordon put in place. It would also affect part of Oxford Street and people were being asked to leave the street but were not initially being evacuated from buildings in the area, said the spokeswoman. Sources close to the investigation said that the Park Lane closure is linked to the discovery of a vehicle at an underground car park. It is also believed to be linked to the investigation into the Haymarket car bomb. At the moment it is not known if the vehicle at Park Lane contains a device.

Pic by Michael McRanor Man 'tackled driver' A car on fire has been driven at the main terminal building at Glasgow Airport. Eyewitnesses have described a Jeep Cherokee being driven at speed towards the building with flames coming out from underneath. They have also described seeing two Asian men, one of whom was on fire, who had been in the car. Strathclyde Police said two people had been arrested and detained in connection with the incident. The airport has been evacuated and all flights suspended following the incident at 1515 BST. A Whitehall spokesman said the incident was not being treated as a national security threat however the prime minister is being kept informed of developments and is expected to chair a meeting of Cobra - the emergency committee - later. Men fighting First Minister Alex Salmond has activated emergency procedures. There have been unconfirmed reports that part of the Royal Alexandra Hospital is being evacuated. There was an Asian guy who was pulled out of the car by two police officers Richard Gray Eyewitness Mr Gray's account Eyewitnesses' accounts Your pictures of the incident The incident comes a day after two cars were found containing explosives in central London. The cars contained petrol, gas cylinders and nails but the devices did not detonate. One eyewitness at Glasgow Airport said: "I heard the sound of a car's wheels spinning and smoke coming out. "I saw a Jeep Cherokee apparently as if it was trying to get right through the doors into the terminal building. "There were flames coming out from underneath then some men appeared from in amongst the flames. "The police ran over and the people started fighting with the police. I then heard what sounded like an explosion." Molotov cocktails Eye-witness Richard Gray told BBC News 24: "A green Jeep was in the middle of the doorway burning. "There was an Asian guy who was pulled out of the car by two police officers, who he was trying to fight off. They've got him on the ground. "The car didn't actually explode. There were a few pops and bangs which presumably was the petrol." Firemen at airport Dozens of emergency personnel attended the scene Stephen Clarkson said he helped police restrain one of the men. "I managed to knock the fellow to the ground," he said. "By this time there were four policemen who got on top of him and restrained him. "His clothes had partially burned from his body. His hair was on fire. "His whole body was on fire." Thomas Conroy, a maintenance worker at the airport believes the men deliberately tried to set the car on fire. "It looked like they had Molotov cocktails with them," he said. "They sort of burst them round about the flames to make sure the car would go up big style. "Within minutes it was up and the terminal caught as well." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/6257194.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(phillipines, indonesia, kashmir/india, pakistan, east africa, europe) "islamic terrorist" covers more ground; it refers to all islamic terrorism regardless of what region they're from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
