The dramatic CCTV video footage that showed a terrorist car bomb attack on Glasgow airport was shown to a jury trying the case of two doctors accused of being involved in the raid.

Dozens of people can be seen screaming and running as the Jeep crashed into a doorway of the main terminal building. Some passengers were pushed over and injured as people tried to escape in panic, the prosecution said.

Many travellers were so terrified that they abandoned their luggage, while others others tried to push their trolleys towards the doorways.

Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London was told that long queues of passengers were waiting to travel on June 30, 2007, the airport's busiest day of the year.

Jonathan Laidlaw, QC, said that Kafeel Ahmed, 28, was at the wheel of the improvised car bomb. The vehicle had been prepared with gas cylinders and petrol in the same way as two Mercedes cars left in London's West End the previous day.

Mr Laidlaw said that the vehicle became stuck, despite Mr Ahmed's repeated attempts to ram his way inside. He said that Mr Ahmed threw petrol bombs out of the window before dousing himself in fuel and catching alight. One camera showed the vehicle being engulfed in flames which quickly spread to the building before firefighters arrived.

Bilal Abdulla, 29, and Mohammed Asha, 28, are charged with conspiracy to murder and to cause explosions. The two men, who worked as doctors at NHS hospitals in Glasgow and Staffordshire, deny the offences.

Mr Abdulla was a passenger in the Jeep and attempted to fight off police and bystanders, the jury was told. He was arrested at the scene but only after one man lost a tooth and suffered a broken leg as he tried to help police. Mr Ahmed, an engineering student, died several weeks later from burns that he sustained in the attack.

The footage related to evidence heard on Friday but was released only yesterday because of technical problems.
