Kafeel Ahmed, the man who set himself on fire after crashing a jeep into Glasgow airport, has died in hospital. The 27-year-old Indian national was one of two men held at the airport after the attack on June 30. Television footage had shown the badly burned Ahmed being detained by police at Glasgow airport.
He sustained 90% burns and had not been expected to survive. He died at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, police said last night. He had been in hospital since the incident.
Bilal Abdulla, a doctor arrested at the airport at the same time as Ahmed, has been charged with conspiring to cause explosions and remains in custody. The pair were allegedly driving a Jeep laden with gas canisters.
Ahmed, from Bangalore, was an engineer with a PhD, and was related to Sabeel Ahmed, who has also been charged in relation to the attempted car bombings in London and Glasgow.
