Question

Suicide car bomb caused havoc in England in July 2007 at which airport?

• A. Glasgow
• B. Heathrow
• C. Birmingham
• D. Nottingham

Hint:

This attack happened just a day after a failed car-bomb plot in London, and it targeted a Scottish airport, not an English one.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

This question tests a specific news event from 2007, so the best way to answer it is to recall the actual location reported at the time rather than guess by airport size.

1. Glasgow: Correct. A burning Jeep packed with gas canisters was driven into the terminal entrance of Glasgow Airport, an attack that followed a foiled car-bomb plot in London by less than a day.
2. Heathrow: Incorrect. Though Heathrow is the UK's largest and most talked-about airport, it was not where this attack took place.
3. Birmingham: Incorrect. Birmingham Airport had no connection to this event.
4. Nottingham: Incorrect. Nottingham is not even known for a major international airport and is unrelated to the incident.

The correct location, Glasgow, stands out because news coverage at the time closely tied it to the failed London car-bomb attempt from the day before, making the two events part of the same short-lived plot.

Let's summarize:

• The burning vehicle attack on 30 June/1 July 2007 struck Glasgow Airport's terminal building.
• It followed a foiled car-bomb plot in central London by less than 24 hours.

So the correct airport is Glasgow, option (A).
