Bomb docs tried first to work in Australia
A SINISTER twist emerged in the doctor bombings case last night when it emerged two of the UK suspects tried to get jobs in Australia. Brothers Kafeel Ahmed and Sabeel Ahmed applied for jobs with the Western Australia Health Service but were rejected on character grounds.Someone noticed! It was also revealed the pair were cousins of Gold Coast Hospital registrar Dr Mohammed Haneef, who remains in custody. The second man arrested in Queensland, Mohammed Asif Ali, had also applied in WA and was rejected. WA medical officials confirmed one of the brothers applied using different names on "several occasions". "We are co-operating with the AFP and doing everything we can to assist them," Australian Medical Association WA spokesman Geoff Dobbs said. Australian security officials were last night seeking extra time to interrogate Dr Haneef about his alleged links with the British doctor bombing plot. The Australian Federal Police requested the extension due to the massive amount of information contained on Dr Haneef's laptop computer. Love those savvy terrorists and their computers, cell phones, PalmPilots... Police are sifting through 18,000 files searching for links between the Gold Coast Hospital registrar and the botched car bomb plot in London and Glasgow. No charges have been laid. The latest development comes as close links emerged between some of the eight suspects arrested over the failed bomb attacks. Dr Haneef is believed to be the cousin of Kafeel Ahmed, the alleged driver of the 4WD that rammed the Glasgow airport terminal building. Ahmed's brother, Sabeel, 26 who was arrested in Liverpool on the weekend studied with Dr Haneef and in 2005 worked at the same UK hospital as the Queensland recruit. Police sources told The Independent newspaper Dr Haneef had allegedly been in phone and email contact with the Ahmed brothers in the run-up to the bomb attempts. The Ahmed and Haneef families live near each other in Bangalore. As has been noted so often here at Rantburg: Muslim terrorism is all in the family. Posted by: trailing wife 2007-07-05 |
