Glasgow terror suspect dies from burns
LONDON – A man critically burned after allegedly crashing an explosive-laden Jeep into Glasgow Airport died of his injuries Thursday, 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.
They certainly did do their best to keep this freak alive. In fact, tens of thousands of pounds were spent on things like shark skin implants to help the comatose terrorist. But now that it’s dead, maybe the 108 year old granny who needs a hearing aid can finally get one.
Ahmed, 27, is in a coma, remains on life support at Glasgow Royal Infirmary and has little chance of surviving, The Scotsman reported. The decision to keep him alive has more to do with politics than medicine, the newspaper reported.
Last week, at a reported cost of $40,000, Ahmed’s burns were treated with special shark skin implants, to aid in healing.
British MI5 intelligence officials had hoped to interrogate Ahmed but now will settle for keeping him alive as long as possible, said one senior police official.
Woman, 108, must wait 18 months for hearing aid
Mrs Beal, a former piano teacher who was involved in the suffragette movement, would be 110 by the time she gets her new hearing aid. “I could be dead by then,” she said yesterday.
Maria Scott, 52, her granddaughter, said: “After having a hearing test on Wednesday they said, ‘yes, she does need a digital hearing aid, but there is an 18-month waiting list’.
“I would have thought they would take her age into account as she probably has not got 18 months to wait.
“Olive has worked hard from the age of 16 to her late 60s and paid taxes. She has been healthy all her life and lived with her daughter until 15 years ago – she has never sponged off the state. I thought a 108-year-old deserved to be treated better than this.”
One would think. After all, that 40,000 pounds spent on the terrorist’s shark skin treatment would have bought 20,000 digital hearing aids.
Bah…
Now as I think of one more jihadi biting the dust and inevitably finding there aren’t 72 virgins waiting for him, I always think about the classic Onion story about the shock the September 11th hijackers felt when they found themselves in hell.
If you haven’t read it, please indulge, you’ll be glad you did.

Terrorist gone…..goody !!!!!
Thanks for re-distributing the Onion story. I still have my copy as it was the first thing that made me smile after 9/11.
One could only wish the story of the 108-year-old woman being passed up on a hearing aid for a futile attempt to revive a terrorist f(rea)k was an Onion story, too.
Tammy,
There is much confusion about just how many virgins there are awaiting these freedom fighters that the left so admires. According to the Koran, the number is 9801. That is 99 virgins waiting in 99 rooms in heaven.
Poor Ahmed, we hardly knew ye!
In fact, let’s hope there really are 72 (or 99, or 9,801) virgins waiting for him in Paradise — the demands, the complaints, the PMS, the general all-around bitchiness from that many females, all wanting a piece of his time, or just a piece of him, will without question drive him insane and turn his Paradise into a living Hell.
You go, Ahmed!
