Glasgow Airport terrorism attack led to concern for NHS workers, new papers show
Scottish ministers were concerned about NHS staff being “victimised as a group” after the Glasgow Airport attack, new papers show.
Members of the public who witnessed the attack stepped in to aid police in apprehending Abdullah and his accomplice Kafeel Ahmed, who would later die from injuries sustained in the attack. Papers released by National Records of Scotland from cabinet meetings at the time show concerns raised by ministers over the potential demonisation of NHS staff as a result of the attack and Abdullah’s links to the health service.
“Second, was the need to avoid healthcare workers in any way being victimised as a group because of the connection to the profession of the individuals detained in association with these incidents,” the papers said of a discussion between the cabinet.
