-- GLASGOW, Scotland, June 30 (Reuters) -- A four-wheel-drive vehicle crashed into the main terminal at Glasgow airport on Saturday and exploded in flames, a day after police foiled a possible al Qaeda plot to detonate two car bombs in London.**********
"It raced across the central reservation and went straight into the building," said taxi driver Ian Crosby outside the terminal.
Crosby said a stocky Asian man had got out of the car and was quickly wrestled to the ground by bystanders.
"It would appear to me to have been a deliberate attack. I think this was a terrorist attack," Crosby said.
LAST WORD: All doubt gone...
Mr. Leeson said bollards — security posts outside the entrance — stopped the driver from barreling into the bustling terminal at Glasgow's airport.
“He's trying to get through the main door frame but the bollards have stopped him from going through. If he'd got through, he'd have killed hundreds, obviously,” he said.
