Cops seize Jeep bomber's computer hard disk

New Delhi: Bangalore Police has stepped up its investigation into the failed UK terror plot. They have seized prime suspect Mohammad Kafeel’s computer hard disk and are looking into any possibilities of connections with the failed bombings.

“Police has been able to seize a hard disk of high capacity and some other material left behind by Khaleel Ahmed in Bangalore. The hard disk is being examined to ascertain the content and check if there are any connections with the UK terror plot and other terrorist activities all over the world,” Bangalore Police Commissioner N Achutha Rao said.

Rao also said that the police is also “looking into the hard disk to see whether there are any clues to the IISc attack in Bangalore.”

Kafeel - the elder brother of one of the other suspects, Sabeel Ahmed - was driving the flaming jeep which crashed into Glasgow airport.

Meanwhile, the British authorities will submit a report on the recruitment procedure for the National Health Service (NHS) on Monday. A revision in the recruitment procedure could affect a large number of Indian doctors seeking employment in the UK.

British Security chief Admiral Sir Alan West is to submit the NHS report, which was reviewed on British Prime Minister Gordon Brown orders.

Brown has called for more international coordination in sharing information about potential terrorists and in fighting global terrorism.

“What I would say that we now need more information flowing internationally about who are potential terrorists and who are potential suspects,” Brown said.

‘Haneef treated unfairly’

Indian doctor Mohammed Haneef held in Brisbane for a suspected link to the failed UK bomb plot is being treated unfairly, his lawyer claimed on Monday.

Mohammed Haneef has been detained at a Brisbane watch-house since last Monday as authorities investigate whether he has any links to the failed attacks in London and at Glasgow airport, as well as to an underground network of radical Islamic doctors.

The 27-year-old was arrested as he tried to leave Brisbane on a one-way ticket to India.

Under the counter-terrorism laws, Australia Federal Police officers can hold Haneef until Monday night.

Peter Russo claimed that his client (Haneef) was being treated unfairly and all the information on the case was not shared.

"It's difficult to work out what has actually happened because the only source of information that I have, really, is the media," the lawyer told ABC radio.

Russo said he does not know what evidence police are planning to take to the magistrate in order to charge Haneef.

"The only way you can get a fair and balanced hearing is when both parties get an opportunity to view each other's material and make submissions based on the information that's before the magistrate and also the opportunity to get some instructions in relation to the allegations – if any – that are being made,” Russo said.
