Final email of Glasgow airport bomber: 'I want to die for Allah'

The Glasgow airport bomber who died of burns in the attack sent an email confession to relatives, a security source claims.

Kafeel Ahmed, 27, who died in early August of 90 per cent burns just over a month after the bungled terror attack, is believed to have been the driver of the Jeep Cherokee deliberately driven into the terminal.

And it has now emerged that there is damning evidence of the Indian-born engineer's dedication to terrorism.

Not only is he said to have sent an email claiming he was acting in the name of Allah and discussing martyrdom, his relatives have also identified him in CCTV footage fleeing one of the failed nightclub car bombs in London the day before the Glasgow airport attack of June 30.

In addition, analysis of his computer is said to show he visited bomb-making websites, and his mobile phone was found in the burnt-out Jeep.

The evidence is vital for anti-terror experts, who believe Ahmed, who lived in Glasgow, could have provided crucial information about Al Qaeda networks.

His death came despite a long battle to save him from his injuries, at a cost of £150,000 to the National Health Service.

A security source has told reporters that Ahmed sent a text to a relative just two hours before the Jeep was driven into Glasgow airport.

In the email, Ahmed is said to admit to both the London car bombing attempt and the Glasgow plot - and to say he was serving Allah.

Although the email apparently accepts that his relative will be shocked by his involvement in terror, he says that he desires martyrdom and appears to describe the Glasgow attack as a suicide bombing.

The email was not read by its recipient however until after the Jeep had been engulfed by flames at the airport.

It is believed that the Glasgow attack was launched in a hurry after the London bombings failed, because the terrorists feared they would be arrested imminently.

Medics at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary said Ahmed never emerged from a coma throughout his long unwilling battle for life after he was hauled from the flaming Jeep.

The source said: "This was one of the worst cases of burns I have ever seen. It was very traumatic for everyone involved in his care.

"I was surprised he survived this long."

The other occupant of the Jeep, Iraqui doctor Bilal Talal Samad Abdullah, has been charged with conspiring to set off lethal explosions.

Also charged over the attacks are Jordanian doctor Mohammed Jamil Asha and Ahmed's brother Sabeel, 26.
