The terror suspect fighting for his life after the car bomb attack on Glasgow Airport is unlikely to survive his severe burn injuries, a doctor who has treated him said.

"The prognosis is not good and he is not likely to survive," a member of the medical team that treated him at the Royal Alexandra Hospital near Glasgow said.

The medic, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added: "He has third-degree burns over most of his torso and limbs. It is beyond repair and because he has lost so much skin he is now vulnerable to infection and won't be able to fight it."

The patient, Kafeel Ahmed, 27, is under police guard, having been arrested after a flaming Jeep was driven at Glasgow airport on June 30.

Ahmed was initially taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, not far from the airport, suffering from 90% burns. On Friday health officials said he had been transferred to a specialist unit at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

Bilal Abdullah, a 27-year-old doctor born in Britain and raised in Iraq, is the only suspect to have been charged in connection with the suspected car bomb plots in London and Glasgow.

He was remanded in custody when he appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Saturday.

The 27-year-old, who was arrested after the Glasgow Airport incident, is accused of conspiring to cause explosions.

Five other suspects are being questioned by police.

IMPENDING DEATH OF TERRORIST!

Dear Sirs,

The news of Kafeel Ahmed’s prognosis is hardly surprising his injuries were horrific. However I hope we are not expected to feel sorry for this piece of trash. This is exactly what he had in mind for the unsuspecting innocents in the airport terminal building had his murderous intentions succeeded.

Imagining the scene at this terrorists bedside reminds me of a scene from “Braveheart” when “Longshanks” was dying in his bed and his daughter-in-law whispered in his ear. I would like to think that someone would whisper in Kafeel’s ear and say, “you are going to die, but before you do know this; your bomb failed to detonate and you were the only casualty. Your death will be mourned by few but bring comfort to many; not of course the virgins waiting for what is left of you, they are going to be disappointed. Perhaps your injuries are a judgment on your premeditated evil by your God and maybe he is preparing you with a foretaste of what to expect in the afterlife”.

Yours sincerely,

Ross Logie
