Terror attack at Glasgow airport

Updated


Blogger appears to not be publishing my posts. I post them, they are entered as “published” but they don’t show on my page.

Anyway, I’m back home today and watching on TV the latest on the terrorist attack on Glasgow airport. Will post more later.

Update
“Police were scuffling with a gentleman”?
That’s no gentleman, that’s a terrorist

Sean has a great round-up and photos. A lot more at Hot Air

Update 2
The airport travelers knocked the suspects to the ground as they tried to flee the burning jeep.

    I live in Glasgow and my girlfriend works at the airport. I am deeply concerned and have been since before the twin towers cam down.
    Glasgow has a population of 600,000 so it is a fairly smallish city but has a Muslim population of about 80,000 – many of whom don’t speak English as their first language. They live in closed insular communities. Fact!
    There is wide spread radicalisation of the mostly Pakistani Muslim youth. In my humble first hand opinion it is only a matter of time before there are serious race riots.

    Try a web search for “Kris Donald – Glasgow” – a 15 year old boy who was kidnapped in Glasgow by 4 Muslim men – tortured for several hours then set alight alive. The reason? He was white and in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Man guilty of racial murder of Glasgow schoolboy
    An Asian man was today found guilty of the racially-motivated murder of Glasgow schoolboy Kriss Donald.

    The jury at the High Court in Glasgow took two and a quarter hours to convict Daanish Zahid, 20, of the random abduction and execution-style killing on March 15.

    Kriss, 15, was stabbed 13 times and then set on fire behind the Celtic Supporters Club on London Road, in the east end of the city.

    Zahid was also found guilty of attacking Kriss’s friend Jamie Wallace, 20, as the pair walked along Kenmure Street in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.

    The jury of eight men and seven woman also found him guilty of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by setting fire to the silver Mercedes used to abduct the schoolboy.

    All the verdicts were unanimous.

    Lord Philip deferred sentence on Zahid and his co-accused Zahid Mohammed, 20, who was earlier cleared of the murder, but pleaded guilty to other charges, for background reports until December 16 at the High Court in Edinburgh.

    At the start of the three-week trial Zahid, 20, admitted attacking Kriss in a racially-aggravated assault and abducting the teenager.

    Zahid also admitted a racially-aggravated assault on Jamie Wallace and pleaded guilty to persuading a friend to provide him with an alibi on his whereabouts at the time of the murder.

    Zahid lodged a special defence naming two people, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, as Kriss’s killers.

    Mohammed also named the two individuals and a third individual as being responsible for the abduction and murder.

    During the trial the jury heard how one of the alleged killers was hit by a bottle outside Victoria’s nightclub in Glasgow in the early hours of March 15.

    Later that day Zahid and Mohammed joined three others in a stolen Mercedes to go looking for the culprits, whom they believed to be from McCulloch Street in Pollokshields.

    Kriss was walking along Kenmure Street in Pollokshields shortly after 3pm when an individual left the car and started fighting with him and his friend Jamie.

    The pair were then attacked by other members of the group before Kriss was bundled into the car.

    The court heard Kriss, who lived in McCulloch Street, had no connection with his abductors and had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    During an ordeal which lasted more than four hours, the schoolboy was driven 200 miles from Pollokshields, to the Parkhead area, to Dundee and then back to Glasgow.

    The teenager was then driven up a dark lane to a lonely spot near the Clyde Walkway, where he was killed, according to deputy advocate Mark Stewart, in a “gruesome and callous execution”.

    In a horrific account of his final moments, the jury was told Kriss was stabbed 13 times in a frenzied attack which severed one of his ribs, three arteries, one of his lungs, his liver and kidney.

    He was then doused in petrol, set alight and left to die.

    Evidence suggests Kriss made his way down towards the Clyde and tried to extinguish the flames by rolling around in a muddy hollow near the cycle path where he was discovered.
