GLASGOW, Scotland - Two men rammed a flaming sport utility
vehicle into the main terminal of Glasgow airport Saturday,
crashing into the glass doors at the entrance and sparking a
fire, witnesses said. Police said two suspects were arrested.

There were no reports of injuries but the airport — Scotland's
largest — was evacuated and all flights suspended, a day after
British police thwarted a plot to bomb central London,
discovering two cars abandoned with loads of gasoline, gas
canisters and nails.

"One has to conclude ... these are linked," Dame Pauline
Neville-Jones, former head of Britain's joint intelligence
committee, told Sky News. "This is a very young government,
and we may yet see further attacks."

In Glasgow, the green SUV barreled toward the building shortly
after 3 p.m., hitting security barriers before crashing into the
glass doors and exploding, witnesses said. Two men jumped out
of the burning vehicle, one of them engulfed in flames, they said.
