I hope it hurts
Leave it to the AP to insert the word "allegedly" in there... as if they didn't pull him out of the burning vehicle.
EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) -- A suspect in the failed terror attack on Scotland's busiest airport was unlikely to survive his severe burn injuries, a doctor who treated him said Tuesday.
Khalid Ahmed, 27, is in a Scottish hospital with burns suffered after allegedly crashing a Jeep Cherokee into the Glasgow airport a day after police found two unexploded car bombs in central London.
"The prognosis is not good and he is not likely to survive," a member of the medical team that treated him at the Royal Alexandra Hospital near Glasgow said on condition of anonymity because details about patients' condition are not to be made public.
"He has third-degree burns over most of his torso and limbs. It is beyond repair and because he has lost so much skin he is now vulnerable to infection and won't be able to fight it."
It would appear that he is suffering that which he intended to inflict upon others. I hope he has at least one lucid moment where he realizes how foresaken he really is.
Unfortunately, third degree burns destroy the nerve endings, but hey, he's gotta have some first and second degree burns as well, and those should hurt something terrible.
I hope they do everything possible to keep this man alive for as long as possible.

Wow. Just think of all those flash-roasted nerve endings. Every square inch of his body, one giant 3rd degree burn that will forever disfigure him and leave him in endless suffering and misery...
Sometimes you get precisely what you deserve. "Feel the burn!" Abdullah, and may you live to be a hundred.

A slow agonizing way to die. Great. This is what he planned for other, innocent people. Even muslim doctors are ruthless killers. Piss on islam!

The alleged journalists at AP know how to use the word "alleged" don't they? I'm surprised they didn't call it "the alleged failed terror attack."

Doesn't seem all that bad. Not a fatal burn if he were in the US. Treated by the NHS another story. Saves on court costs. US MD

I hope they keep him alive as long as possible too. The Scots better not be giving him any pain killers either. Personally, I'd slap his ass awake every hour, on the hour and ask him how his "Jihad" is going.
