A story worth toastingA badly burned man detained after the Glasgow Airport attack on Saturday 30 June has died in hospital. A spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police said that the man, seriously injured during the incident, died in Glasgow Royal Infirmary on Thursday evening. Kafeel Ahmed was one of two men held at the airport after a Jeep struck the terminal and burst into flames. The circumstances surrounding the death have been reported to the procurator fiscal.
The 27-year-old, from Bangalore, India, had suffered burns to 90% of his body when he was arrested. He was transferred to the specialist burns unit at Glasgow Royal Infirmary from the Royal Alexandra Hospital, in Paisley. He was being kept under armed guard and had been described by health officials as being in a critical condition. Contrary to earlier reports, Mr Ahmed was not a medic but an engineer with a PhD in design and technology.
