A man who suffered severe burns after allegedly crashing an explosives-laden Jeep into Glasgow Airport died in a hospital on Thursday, Strathclyde police said Thursday.

Kafeel Ahmed, 27, had been in the hospital for a month with critical burns from the alleged attack on June 30, which followed a day after two failed car bombings in London. The other man in the car, Iraqi doctor Bilal Abdullah, has been charged with conspiring to set off explosions.

"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 spokesman for Strathclyde Police, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with force policy.

Ahmed, an Indian national from Bangalore, suffered burns to 90 percent of his body and had been in a coma throughout his hospital stay. He had been kept under armed guard at a specialist burns unit within the hospital.

I have no sympathy for him. Just glad he only inflicted this on himself.

1. Pardon me if I have a hard time mourning this jackass nt

[wuushew]

3. Why?

Dead men tell no tales. Is the satisfaction of being smug greater than the opiate of knowledge?

6. still no cause to be grief stricken

he was successful at being a martyr albeit it took longer than he anticipated. but it is fortunate that he failed at inflicting further carnage. cry me a river.

2. Tonight

I'll go out on deck and light the tough sh!t lamp. I'll be sure to hoist a beer in remembrance of a life completely wasted brought to you by the "Religion of Peace".

4. condemn the man but dont go crusading

Obviously anyone who is willing to get killed in order to kill innocent people is sick in mind and if true, this one is no exception.
But comments about religion are out of order: imagine if Saudi Arabia or Iran were running military bases near London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and NYC on invitation from our governments! Would not some of us go crazy and fight them? Religion is being used as a tool (unfortunately by both sides).
The real problem is a rather valid notion of territory. And for that, many democratic nations have committed terror. Please be careful with your language or <democraticunderground> will lose its present justifid legitimacy.

5. Killing people in an airport has no military value.

There are plenty of "targets" that could be attacked. The cole attack was not terrorism, it is non traditional warfare against a naval target.

It deserves a response of course but that attack is very different than killing non combatants.

That is the issue.

7. The people of this country opposed all that from the beginning

It's just our political class doesn't give a rat's rectum what we proles think and will do it anyway. If he was pissed off about Iraq, then if he had stopped to ask those people in that airport that he tried to blow up, they'd most likely agree with him.

When you decide to avenge the loss of innocent life by taking more innocent life, then as far as I'm concerned you've thrown away the legitimacy of your grievance. That goes equal for Shrubolini as well as some hacked off lunatic with a range rover and some gas canisters

8. Military bases ?

If Saudi Arabia or Iran were running military bases near London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and NYC i'd probably attack Saudi Arabian or Iranian run military bases near London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and NYC if i really wanted to attack something.

I wouldn't attack some unrelated civilian airport.

9. Well

Bush claims to worship the "Prince of Peace" and look what he's done.

A psychopath is a psychopath - religion is only the excuse.
