Indian doctor charged with supporting terrorists
Ap, Brisbane
Australian federal police yesterday charged an Indian doctor with providing "reckless" support to a terrorist organisation by giving his mobile phone SIM card to two of the suspects accused in the failed British bomb attacks. Muhammad Haneef, 27, is the second person to be charged over the botched attacks on London and Glasgow June 29 and 30. The other is Bilal Abdullah, who is being held in London on charges of conspiring to set off explosions. British police tracked a SIM card in the possession of one of the men accused in the failed Britain bomb attacks to Haneef, and alerted their Australian counterparts. At a bail hearing before the Brisbane Magistrates Court, authorities claimed that Haneef gave his SIM card to suspects Sabeel and Kafeel Ahmed when he left Britain in July 2006. Haneef is a distant cousin of the Ahmed brothers, with whom he reportedly shared a house in Liverpool for up to two years before moving to Australia.
