LONDON, England (CNN) -- A letter by one of the men who police say rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into Glasgow's airport shows the alleged attackers intended to kill themselves in a suicide bombing, sources close to the investigation tell CNN.

British police investigating Saturday's incident in Glasgow, Scotland, found the suicide note, which they believe shows the men intended to die in the botched attack.

Police also believe the men were behind two failed car bombing attempts in London a day earlier.

They allege the men parked two cars packed with explosives in central London then drove north to Scotland for six hours.

Police did not say where the suicide note was found, but the language used in the letter showed it was clearly a suicide note indicating the men had intended to detonate the sport-utility vehicle while they were inside, the sources said.

It is unclear whether the failed suicide attack on the Glasgow airport -- which happened 14 hours after the first car bomb in London was discovered -- was a last-minute decision or whether it was hatched in the wake of the failed London car bombs.

One of the suspects, identified by sources as Dr. Khalid Ahmed, is hospitalized for critical burns from the attempted suicide bombing at the airport. <<More>>
