CNN are incorrect - the man in hospital is not dead but 'critical'.

Sky were right - device found at RAH, so it was particularly evacuated.

Police confirming suspect device found at hospital treating one of the people from the car who is suffering from severe burns and is in a critical state. Hospital was partially evacuated until the device was removed.

Event is linked to those in London yesterday and is being treated as a terrorist incident.

One person injured and being treated in hospital.

And do you think your post is f***ing funny? Go away and come back when you can contribute something relevant to TV News coverage of the events that are taking place.


Only a moron like you would think I was trying to be funny. I was merely observing the apparent baptism of fire that Mr Brown is having.

As for constructive comment, CNN must now retract their "dead man" story as the Strathclyde cops have confirmed he is still alive, if in a critical condition.

Of course he could have arrested (excuse the pun) en route and some wires have been crossed.

CNN has unconfirmed reports that there is an unstable device in Glasgow airport, that police can't get to. I hope this is wrong.

After their last effort, we're all with you.

Of course, in a ghoulish journalistic way, their editorial team will be hoping they're right.

Police confirming suspect device in hospital was found on the person from the car. Unable to confirm whether it was a suicide belt or active device.

CNN are still reporting the death of one of the suspects on their website: http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/06/30/london.alert/index.html

I presume he means he's disapointed at the CNN gaffe and not the man being alive...
