In Britain, five people were arrested Sunday in an ongoing investigation into a failed car-bombing attempt in London and another in Scotland. On Friday, police found two Mercedes containing gasoline, gas cylinders and nails parked near the other in London. One day later, two people were arrested after a car crashed into the main terminal at Glasgow airport. Witness Jim Manson described the attack.

Jim Manson: “It started out with some flames coming up from the front of the car, but then it was almost as if there was kind of a mini explosion, as if there’d be a petrol canister or something, and the flames were shooting right up to the top of the terminal building, which was quite dramatic. And then the terminal building seemed to catch fire. The front of the terminal building seemed to catch fire, and there was smoke and flames obviously going inside and outside, as well. Everyone just ran. I mean, they were absolutely terrified, as you can imagine.”

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the attacks indicate links to al-Qaeda and announced increased security measures at airports.

British PM Gordon Brown: “We will have to be constantly vigilant. We will have to be alert at all times. And I think the message that’s going to come out from Britain and from the British people is that as one, we will not yield, we will not be intimidated, and we will not allow anyone to undermine our British way of life.”
