LONDON — A man critically burned after allegedly crashing an explosive-laden Jeep into Glasgow Airport died of his injuries yesterday, Strathclyde Police said.

Kafeel Ahmed, 27, had been in the hospital for a month with burns from the alleged attack on June 30, which followed a day after two failed car bombings in London. The other man in the car, Iraqi doctor Bilal Abdullah, has been charged with conspiring to set off explosions.

“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,” a spokesman for Strathclyde Police said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with force policy.
