Two (fortunately) incompetent a-holes tried to ram a Jeep Cherokee packed with gasoline and propane tanks through the main entrance of the Glasgow airport earlier on Saturday. The good news is they apparently didn't count on the concrete bollards around the entrance, which prevented the vehicle from making it any further than the glass doors.
Brit police are citing links between this attack and Friday's failed car bombs in the Square Mile. Brand new PM Gordie Brown has raised the overall threat level in the UK to Critical, meaning additional attacks are thought to be imminent.
The two boneheads in the Glasgow attack were (again, fortunately) too stupid to do more than set the rolling bomb they drove on fire, and failed to actually make the thing detonate in a big boom. In addition, at least one of them appears to have been wearing a suicide belt, which he also failed to set off. Instead, these two morons allowed themselves to be beaten senseless by the police and bystanders and arrested.
Late word out of the north is that police have pulled a car over on the M6 and have arrested two men and possibly a woman whom they believe have some level of involvement in the London and Scotland attacks.
While the Brit preparedness for attacks, which can be traced back to PIRA's bombing campaigns in the 70s and 80s, has clearly played a part in preventing catastrophe this weekend, you have to notice a serious lack of competence on the part of the attackers as well.
The good news is, at the moment, they seem to be idiots. But, we have to remember the first attempt on the World Trade Center in NYC back in 1993 was amateurish as well. There's no doubt AQ learns from its mistakes.
I STILL can't figure out why they are limiting themselves to the UK, esp when the Brits are a much harder target than the good ol' US and A...
