Glasgow Airport car bomb hero John Smeaton was fighting for his life last night. He was taken ill hours after the first full day of the trial of two men accused of the attack. Sources said 32-year-old Smeaton was rushed from his home in Paisley, Renfrewshire, to hospital after a serious asthma attack on Thursday night.
The former baggage handler has regularly written about his poor health in a tabloid newspaper column.
A spokesman for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed: "I can confirm that he is in the Royal Alexandra Hospital and that his condition is stable." Sources said that a similar asthma attack a decade ago almost killed him.
Smeaton, who recently revealed he was quitting Scotland for a new life in the United States, became an overnight celebrity after the airport incident on June 30 last year. His efforts to foil the attack followed by comments in a TV interview broadcast across the globe shortly afterwards catapulted him to fame.
