7<\/p>\n Steven ‘Bonzo’ Daniel has fled to Dubai, according to underworld sources 7<\/p>\n It’s claimed Steven ‘Bonzo’ Daniel has sought sanctuary in Dubai over safety fearsCredit: Getty 7<\/p>\n Annette Daniel’s home in Bishopbriggs was targeted by firebomb fiends 7<\/p>\n Norman Daniel also had his home torched amid Scotland’s bitter gangland war<\/p>\n Ironically, other rival hoods said to be ordering attacks on the Daniel mob from the desert<\/a> bolthole would be scared to lay a finger on him due to the strict laws in the Arab state.<\/p>\n The claims emerged after the homes of Bonzo\u2019s relatives were firebombed by maniacs<\/a> driven by a hatred of the notorious crime family.<\/p>\n A source said last night: \u201cBonzo travelled to Dubai<\/a> last week and apparently he\u2019s been spotted by some expat Scots who stay there.<\/p>\n \u201cDubai has a lot of people who have issues with each other but there\u2019s very little violence because of how strict it is.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a big place also so the chances of enemies bumping into each other is slim unless they\u2019re in the tourist hotspot areas or one of the many shopping malls.\u201d<\/p>\n We told how Bonzo\u2019s mum Annette\u2019s home was the latest to be torched on Monday morning as mobsters ramped up their weeks-long turf war<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mystery hoods set fire to 63-year-old\u2019s house in a 1am in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, before setting ablaze to her 72-year-old brother Norman\u2019s home just streets away<\/a>.<\/p>\n It came days after a 72-year-old woman and a 12-year-old boy <\/a>were left with \u201csignificant injuries\u201d after two masked teenage thugs burst into their home in Milton.<\/p>\n The suspects were wearing dark clothing and balaclavas, with cops<\/a> eager to speak to anyone who saw a dark large family-style or SUV-type car in the area that night.<\/p>\n Officers would urge anyone with information on this car, or anyone with dash-cam, doorbell footage or personal footage, to review it and get in touch.<\/p>\n Cops plea to help end Scots gang war as firebomb feud hits heart of Daniel clan<\/p>\n It\u2019s understood officers are still investigating a motor found abandoned in the city\u2019s Finlas Street to see if it is linked.<\/p>\n It\u2019s understood cops are staying open minded about links between the various attacks<\/a> – as well as a wave of firebombings and shootings<\/a> in Edinburgh<\/a> on properties linked to Daniel clan ally Mark Richardson.<\/p>\n The explosion in violence comes eight years after Bonzo\u2019s face was mangled when hoods from bitter enemies in the Lyons gang attacked him with machetes in 2017.<\/p>\n And insiders say Bonzo, 45, is paying the price for his alliance with Richardson as Dubai-based hoods seek vengeance over a \u00a3500,000 cocaine<\/a> con using fake cash.<\/p>\n Our source added: \u201cBonzo will be worried with everything that\u2019s going on and he\u2019s best friends with Mark Richardson.<\/p>\n \u201cBonzo is the main link between Richardson and the wider Daniel network.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s already nearly had his life taken before so won\u2019t want to take the chance staying around in Scotland<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBonzo\u2019s name has been thrown around as the main Daniel man but he has no links to organised crime anymore.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is just looking for a quiet life now but his past continues to haunt him.\u201d<\/p>\n 7<\/p>\n Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Ferry is leading the hunt to snare the hoods. 7<\/p>\n A home in Bishopbriggs goes on in flames as maniacs filmed the brazen attack 7<\/p>\n The aftermath of the attack on a house linked to the Daniel family.<\/p>\n We told how cops are urging the public to help bring <\/a>the ongoing chaos to an end by providing info that could snare the maniacs involved.<\/p>\n Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Ferry, Specialist Crime Division, said: \u201cWe rely on members of the public coming forward and giving us information.<\/p>\n \u201cThe key to identifying these individuals is out there in the public.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d ask the public to approach the police and give us information.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more on the Scottish Sun<\/p>\n The violence is said to have been sparked by a fugitive drug dealer and ex Union Bear footie ultra<\/a> amid claims Richardson associates ripped him off in a cocaine<\/a> con.<\/p>\n – FOR more on Scotland\u2019s gangland wars visit the Scottish Sun\u2019s YouTube
