Kafeel Ahmed, 27, was being cared for at a specialist unit at Glasgow Royal Infirmary after the incident on June 30.

A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said: "We can confirm that the man seriously injured during the course of the incident at Glasgow Airport on Saturday June 30 has died in Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

"The circumstances surrounding the death have been reported to the procurator fiscal."

Ahmed was under police guard at GRI after being transferred from The Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.

The engineer, from Bangalore, India, was one of two men detained at the airport after a burning car was driven into the terminal building.

Fellow suspect Bilal Abdullah, 27, an Iraqi doctor, was arrested and charged with conspiring to cause explosions "of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury".

Ahmed was said to have suffered 90% burns in the incident. He spent 33 days in hospital before succumbing to his injuries.

The Glasgow Airport attack followed two suspected car bomb attempts in central London when police discovered two vehicles allegedly laden with gas canisters and fuel.

Eight people were initially held over the incidents, of which three were eventually charged.
