Aug. 3 (Bloomberg) -- A suspected Islamist terrorist who suffered burns when a Jeep Cherokee filled with flammable material was rammed into Glasgow International Airport in Scotland has died from his injuries.

Kafeel Ahmed, 27, was one of two men in the vehicle when it was driven into a terminal entrance on June 30, sparking an explosion. The suspect died late yesterday at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Strathclyde Police spokeswoman Jacqueline Burns said.

Ahmed was an engineer from Bangalore, India. He was arrested after the attack and hadn't been charged by police. Bilal Abdullah, 27, an Iraqi doctor also alleged by police to have been in the vehicle, was charged with conspiring to cause explosions likely to endanger life and is due to appear at the Central Criminal Court in London on Sept. 10.

Eight people were initially arrested in connection with the airport attack and an attempt to explode two car bombs, made from gas canisters, gasoline and nails, in London the previous day. The car bombs were dismantled.

Ahmed was the only one of the eight who wasn't connected to the U.K.'s state-run National Health Service. His brother Sabeel Ahmed, 26, who worked as an NHS doctor, has been charged with not disclosing information that could have been helpful to police. Another doctor, Mohammed Asha, 26, has been charged with conspiring to cause explosions.

The dead man had been treated in hospital for 33 days and was under armed guard. It was ``perfectly right'' to use state resources to treat Ahmed, the Scottish Executive, the devolved government responsible for the health service in Scotland, said today in a statement read over the phone by a spokesman.

Following the failed car bomb attacks the U.K. raised its terrorist-threat level to ``critical,'' the highest on a five- tier scale. It was reduced to ``severe'' on July 4. ``Critical'' means a terrorist attack is expected imminently, while ``severe'' means intelligence officials believe an attack is highly likely.
