Terrorist

The Resume

    (1979-August 2, 2007)
    Born in Bangalore, India
    Raised in Saudi Arabia
    PhD student in Great Britain
    Drove a burning car loaded with propane canisters into the main terminal of Glasgow International Airport (June 30, 2007)
    Linked to a foiled car bombing in London the previous day
    Died from burns suffered in the Glasgow attack

Why he might be annoying:

    Before the bombings, he left a CD with his mother containing jihadist propaganda and speeches by Osama bin Laden.
    The car bombs in London were loaded with nails to try and cause as much death as possible.
    He may have been involved in a fatal shooting at the Indian Institute of Science in his hometown (December 28, 2005).
    He wanted to build a housing complex in Bangalore where Islamic Sharia law would be enforced on the residents.
    With security costs, Britain spent 30,000 pounds a day keeping him alive after the attack.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Security barriers at the Glasgow airport kept his car from entering the terminal.
    He suffered third degree burns on 90% of his body.
    As police arrested him and put out the flames, witnesses shouted 'Let him burn!'
    He was the only person killed in either car bombing attack.
    If he had finished getting his PhD, he probably would have gotten into a position where he could cause a lot more damage than he could in a car bombing.
