BAGHDAD (AP) — An Anglican priest who may have received a cryptic warning of the failed car bombings in London and Glasgow has fled Iraq after threats against his life.Canon Andrew White, who ran Iraq’s only Anglican church, left the country on Tuesday and returned to Britain, an associate said.

On July 4, Canon White told The Associated Press that he had met the man in Amman, Jordan last April who was identified by religious leaders as an al-Qaeda leader. The man told him: “Those who cure you will kill you.”

White said in retrospect that may have been a warning of last month’s failed plot to blow up car bombs in London and Glasgow, Scotland. All the suspects worked in medical professions.
