The 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack occurred on Saturday 30 June 2007, at 15:11 BST, when a dark green Jeep Cherokee loaded with propane canisters was driven into the glass doors of the main airport terminal and set ablaze[3] in the first terrorist attack in Scotland since the Lockerbie bombing in 1988.[4] The attack coincided with the appointment of Glasgow-born Scottish MP Gordon Brown as Prime Minister three days earlier, but Downing Street dismissed suggestions of a connection,[5] although a close link was quickly established to the foiled attack on London the previous day.

A dark green Jeep Cherokee, registration number L808 RDT,[16] travelling at a speed estimated by a witness as about 30 mph[17] (48 km/h), struck security bollards at the main entrance to Glasgow International Airport.[2] The vehicle was reported to have several petrol containers and propane gas canisters on-board. One eyewitness said flames issued from beneath the car when it hit the building, while another eyewitness said it appeared the driver was trying to drive through the terminal doors. According to reports, the car was occupied by two "Asian-looking" men – a convention used in the UK to refer to individuals of South Asian descent.[18] Police indicated the vehicle burst into flames when it was driven at the terminal.[19] An eyewitness noted that a man got out of the car and began to fight with police.[20] Another eyewitness said that the man was throwing punches and repeatedly shouting "Allah".[21][22][23] The man was arrested and has since been named as Bilal Abdulla, a UK-born doctor of Iraqi descent who was working at the Royal Alexandra Hospital. Another man exited the car and ran into the terminal building while he was on fire and began writhing on the ground, before being held down by a member of the public.[24] Image File history File links Size of this preview: 600 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (1000 × 1000 pixel, file size: 409 KB, MIME type: image/png) File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

Three unmarked police cars overtook the suspects' vehicle, and took up a position on the carriageway that prevented the suspects from overtaking, while up to 15 other unmarked cars approached the suspects' car from the rear, forming a buffer of police vehicles between the suspects' car and other motorway users.

On 2 July 2007, BBC News reported that an eighth person is being held in Australia in connection with both the Glasgow and London incidents.[41] Australian news reports indicated that two people in Queensland were detained for questioning. Both are doctors; one, Mohammed Asif Ali, was released after questioning with no charges being brought.[42] The other, Mohamed Haneef, 27, graduated from the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in India in 2002 and entered Australia due to the shortage of doctors in regional hospitals.[43] He was working as a registrar at a Gold Coast hospital and was detained at Brisbane Airport while trying to board a one-way flight to India via Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.[44][42][45] His family claimed that Haneef's link to the terrorists is only tenuous, he was not involved in the plot, and that he was returning to India to see his wife and ten-day-old daughter.[46] India's Deputy High Commissioner to Australia Vinod Kumar was quoted as saying that Haneef is granted consular access in Australia and that a consul has already met Haneef. [47] On July 27, 2007, all charges against Indian doctor Mohamed Haneef were dropped by Magistrate Wendy Cull in the Brisbane Magistrates Court. Prosecutor A.J. McSporran said that there would be "no reasonable prospect of a conviction of Dr Haneef being secured."

One was that Dr Haneef's SIM card had been found in a burning jeep at Glasgow Airport when, in fact, it had been found in the possession of the brother of a terrorism suspect in Liverpool. The second error was that Dr Haneef had once lived with some of the UK bombing suspects, when in fact he had not. The Australian Labor Party has called for an external review of the handling of the Dr Haneef case by the Office of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions.
