Net was closing in on Glasgow car bomb suspects

Monday, July 02, 2007

It has emerged today that the net was closing in on the two suspects behind Saturday's failed bomb attack on Glasgow Airport.

A letting agency that rented a house to one of the men says it was contacted by police just 10 minutes before the botched attack.

The company had apparently been traced after examinations of phone records linked to the failed London bombs.

Both men arrested after the attempt to ram a car bomb into Glasgow's main terminal are believed to have been living in the house.

One of them is understood to be a hospital doctor, while a second doctor is also among the three other people arrested in Liverpool and Cheshire in the wake of the attempted attack.

All of the suspects are believed to be foreigners rather than British citizens.
