More shenanigans in the UK:

Two men rammed a flaming Jeep Cherokee into the main terminal of Glasgow airport Saturday, crashing into the glass doors at the entrance in what appeared to be the third attempted terror attack on Britain in two days, witnesses said.

Police wrestled the two men to the ground _ one of them engulfed in flames _ arresting both and taking one to the hospital.

There were no reports of injuries but the airport _ Scotland's largest _ was evacuated and all flights suspended, a day after British police thwarted a plot to bomb central London, discovering two cars abandoned with loads of gasoline, gas canisters and nails. Hundreds fled screaming from the terminal as one of the men poured gasoline over the Jeep and tried to force it further inside the terminal, one witness said.

"One has to conclude ... these are linked," Dame Pauline Neville-Jones, former head of Britain's joint intelligence committee, told Sky News.

Well one might suspect that these are linked, and they may well be. But while that's still being investigated, it seems premature and irresponsible to me to spread what might prove to be misinformation. As anybody familiar with Iraq's famous role in 9/11 knows, that sort of thing isn't terribly easy to undo.
