[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

This just happened about an hour and a half ago, I was watching BBC at the time. Thoughts?

It's very strange.

although it does seem delibrate.

There is a chance that it is an accident though...

And on TV there's a guy who took down a guy from the car! Now that is a brave guy!

A flaming car crashes its way into an airport doorway. A day after bombs are discovered by nightclubs in london. Doubt it's an accident.

If it were then why in the world did the men bother to waste time in a burning vehicle to guide it into the doorway? Instead of sensibly stoping and running out when it first caught on fire?

[Devastatin Dave]

Doesn't look good. Maybe someone had one too many at the pub?

[Crazed Rabbit]

The question is; how will Britain respond to these attacks?

CR

[Duke Malcolm]

Her Britannic Majesty's Government shall respond by invading and annexing a foreign country mildly connected with those people who crashed into the building.

However, the Scottish "government" (since it was a crime, and commited in Scotland and therefore under the jurisdiction of the Scottish "government") shall respond by saying everything is under control.

Invade China, after all they were Asians, weren't they?

[Duke Malcolm]

Asians means Middle-eastern or Indian. Chinese means Chinese...

[Louis VI the Fat]

This was clearly an attack. Luckily, like yesterday, not by very bright terrorists. I wonder if there are any other imminent attacks planned. Each of the three so far were narrowly averted and could've cause major injury.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"Asian" etcetera. Here's a picture of one of the guys from the car:

Rebuild the imperium!!

Now, where's that darn east india trading company....

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

In the shed.

Given that there so far seem to have been zero injuries I'm not impressed, come on, if you're going to attack the UK you need to gut the centre of one of our cities or blow the top off Big Ben.

The IRA have desensitised us.

[Strike For The South]

These are some dumb terrorists

[Tribesman]

Well I must say I like a lot of the responses in this topic .
Wigferth , Duke , Hore and Husar

edit...from CNN..

Witness Jackie Kennedy said a man got out of the car, went to the back and pulled out a can of fuel, which he poured on himself and ignited.

"The guy was in flames and seemed to be enjoying himself," Kennedy said.

...see they was just having a laugh , probably integrated too well as Govan schemies and dreamt up their terrorist spectacular over a couple too many of the purple tinnies washed down with Buckfast .

[HoreTore]

I'd say it's just as likely, or more likely, that this is related to some random loonies having fun or some criminal stuff(gone bad), as terrorism.

[JR-]

we will keep catching or killing them.

with any luck, they will manage to kill themselves.

eventually the islamic militant ism will fade through failure, just in time for the next popular cause................ animal rights anyone?

[71-hour Ahmed]

I believe that this is the most significant terrorist attack in recent Scottish history (by dint of being the only I can recall) and suggests that the heavily London centric mentality of terrorists is possibly not as strong as it used to be. Plus its worth noting that it might have worked a lot better if they'd made the gas cylinders they apparently had explode, or if they'd actually had brains.

I'd be more worried now about follow up attacks in central England, where there are large muslim communities and where such incidents just aren't expected. Although thats partly because I'm going to London on holiday this July; better wear my bombproof undies.

[scotchedpommes]

Well it's reassuring to know our remaining bomber cells that have decided to act
appear to be wholly incompetent, isn't it? They must be shaking their heads in
disgust in Iraq.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

This is almost as crazy as the time when all of those ice cream salesmen were murdering each other.

[Tribesman]

eventually the islamic militant ism will fade through failure

It will fade through many things .

animal rights anyone?

No thanks...oh you mean the next big bogeyman ... I'm putting money on the Pastafarians going all fundamental and stepping up their piracy as a protest against his noodly greatness not being taken seriously , the word on the street is that they plan to attempt boarding Ken Hams planned reproduction of Noahs Ark and beheading the animatronic dinosaurs .

Edit ... I bet ETA is really pissed off that their attempt at grabbing headlines at Ibiza airport isn't getting much coverage , bad timing eh .

Well, there was Lockerbie...though that one wasn't technically aimed at Scots.

[Zaknafien]

Interesting that there are a number of botched 'terrorist' attacks right as the new PM takes over hm.. maybe its a 'youd better keep your troops in iraq' reminder from someone..

oops, this was supposed to be part of the last post:

Brown Sweeps In On Staged Terror
Car Bomb Attacks Herald New Wave Of Strategy of Tension

Saturday, June 30, 2007


The discovery of two unexploded car bombs in London and a bizarre incident today in which a flaming jeep was crashed at high speed into a terminal building at Glasgow Airport could herald a new wave of staged terror carefully timed to coincide with Prime Minister Gordon Brown's installation at Number 10.

The hysteria reached new heights this afternoon when a Jeep Cherokee ploughed into a terminal building at Glasgow Airport before two Asian men on fire exited and were tackled by holidaymakers and police.

Despite the fact that in both this incident and yesterday's events the cars involved were filled with nothing more deadly than gasoline, which is hardly a carnage-inducing explosive, the British government and the media have embarked upon a fresh assault of fearmongering and are hyping the inevitability that more attacks are imminent.

Gordon Brown has swept into Downing Street with the aid of a new injection of the strategy of tension.

No , if you go with BKS and the ice cream war its V for Viennetta .

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

What fear mongering?

One newsie called them idiots.

These guys are boring, the IRA mortered 10 Downing Street, John Major was under the cabinet table with all his ministers!

Since 2001 they've pulled off one attack, which seems to have lost them their only four competant operatives and in those four blasts the total casualties were 52 dead 700 injured. That breaks down as 13 dead 166 injured per blast.

That's nasty but it caused little disruption or material damage and the per-blast casualties were worse in some PIRA or RIRA attacks.

From a purely callous point of view they're pathetic and no match for the home grown terrorists we had to deal with for thirty years.

[InsaneApache]

A bit like a 99 without the steps.

[Zaknafien]

you should hear the American news--its insane. "RUN!! TERRORISTS!"

Im reminded of the south park episode where everyone is running away from global warming.. lol

[Ianofsmeg16]

People really do not like the new PM do they?

i mean damn...i know he's scottish an all but driving a car into a scottish airport is a bit extreme dont you think?
