Two arrested in Glasgow Airport probe

Two more men aged 20 and 25 have been arrested by police investigating the Glasgow Airport car bomb attack, Strathclyde Police said today.

The men were understood to have been arrested last night in Paisley and are being held under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.

It brings the total number of arrests connected with the failed car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow to seven.

The attack in Glasgow is being linked with the two failed attacks in London on Friday.

Two men, involved in Saturday’s attack, are being held by Strathclyde Police.

One of the men, who set fire to himself at the scene and was driving the Jeep which rammed into the airport terminal building, is in hospital in Paisley under armed guard.

He is in a critical condition with severe burns.

The other, a 27-year-old, is being held at an undisclosed location.

Arrests were also made in Liverpool and on the M6 motorway in Cheshire.

Two of those held are believed to be hospital doctors.
