Police Arrest Seven in British Terror Case
Posted on: Monday, 2 July 2007, 09:19 CDT
Police in Glasgow on Monday arrested two more suspects in the attempted car bombings at the airport there and at a London nightclub.
Seven people, including two medical doctors, had been arrested in connection with the attempted attacks, the BBC reported.
The terror alert in the United Kingdom was raised to critical after a Jeep Cherokee loaded with gas cylinders smashed into the terminal doors of the Glasgow airport and burst into flames on Saturday, the BBC reported.
Two men, including one with severe burns, were arrested following the airport attack. The BBC reported they were of Middle Eastern descent.
Also arrested were Dr. Mohammed Asha, 26, and a 27-year-old woman who were being questioned in London, the BBC reported. Also, a 26-year-old man was arrested in Liverpool on Sunday.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said it was clear that we are dealing, in general terms, with people who are associated with al-Qaida.
Police, meanwhile, set off a controlled explosion of a car at the hospital where the burned suspect was being treated. The vehicle was believed to be linked to the failed airport bombing.
