Car rams into Scottish airport terminal-police

LONDON, June 30 (Reuters) A four-wheel-drive vehicle rammed into the main terminal at Glasgow airport today and exploded in flames, Glasgow police and witnesses said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

A Glasgow police spokeswoman said the vehicle had not penetrated the building and the blaze was under control.

A witness told Sky News that a man, the only occupant of the car, had scuffled with police immediately after the incident and had been wrestled to the ground.

''There was chaos at the airport,'' said the witness, James Edgar. ''I was in the airport building trying to book a holiday.

Suddenly people were running past us. Suddenly everyone said to get out of the airport.'' Another witness said the vehicle appeared to explode into flames almost immediately after crashing into the building.

BAA, which manages the airport, was not immediately available to comment.
