An ANTI-WAR message ("UK out of Iraq!") carried to an extreme?
Two men, one trail of terror
Iraqi doctors 'prime suspects'
for London and Glasgow attacks
By Kim Sengupta and Cahal Milmo
The Independent (UK), 04 July 2007

The two Iraqi doctors [who] tried to attack Glasgow airport are now
believed to [also] have been [the same <or ONLY?> persons]
responsible for leaving two vehicles packed with explosives in
London two days before.
Bilal Abdulla and Khalid Ahmed, allegedly part of a secret cell of
medics involved in terrorism, are said to have driven two Mercedes
saloon " bomb cars" from Glasgow to London and positioned them to
be blown up in the city centre.
The two men, employed by the National Health Service at the Royal
Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, then travelled back to Glasgow,
separately, by public transport and rammed another "bomb car", a
Jeep, as the police and security service closed in on them.
Details of the plans of attack, one of the most devastating
threatened on the British mainland, were revealed as the police and
the security service stated that they had arrested all the key
players involved in the plot.
Shiraz Maher, a friend of Bilal Abdulla and a former member of
controversial Islamic group Hizb-ut-Tahir, told Newsnight: "He
supported the insurgency in Iraq. He actively cheered the deaths of
British and American troops in Iraq. One of his best friends had
been killed by a SHIA MILITIA tank while he was at medical school.
He was clearly very angry about what was happening. But to say it
was all about Iraq or foreign policy is mistaken. It feeds off
<sic> a much wider ideological infrastructure."
Yesterday a British cleric in Iraq said that he had received a
[veiled] warning from an al-Qa'ida leader in Syria of a plan to
target Britain. In an apparent reference to the doctors involved in
the attacks, Canon Andrew White said the man told him that "the
people who cure you will kill you".
In a day of fast-moving developments, yet another doctor, 27-year-
old Muhammad Haneef, became the eighth person to be arrested in
connection with the British attacks and the first one to be
arrested abroad when he was held in Australia. Another man
described as one of his friends, Mohammed Asif Ali, with links to
Cheshire, also a doctor, was questioned by Australian police but
not formally arrested.
Those in custody, six of them doctors or medical students, and a
laboratory technician, the wife of one of the doctors, are employed
by the National Health Service. The eighth person arrested is a
former NHS employee who now works as a doctor in Australia.
However, the police believe Dr Abdulla and Dr Ahmed were the most
active members of the cell and those tasked with carrying out the
attacks.
The two men lived what was considered uneventful and normal lives
in Glasgow and Dr Abdulla made efforts to fit into the local
environment attending Glasgow Rangers football matches. According
to the security agencies the two men arrived in London last week
driving the two Mercedes saloons. Dr Abdulla is said to have been
subsequently identified by an employee of an establishment in
Haymarket, where the two cars were parked. Unconfirmed reports say
that he was also photographed by a CCTV camera in the area.
The two men are said to have returned to Glasgow before the
discovery by police of the second Mercedes saloon.
Dr Abdulla and Dr Ahmed, it is claimed, had been planning to carry
out an attack on Glasgow. Realising that the police were in the
process of tracking them down, they decided to bring it forward. It
is believed that having failed to carry out explosions remotely in
London they decided to use " manual" methods in Glasgow, ramming
the vehicle, a green Jeep Cherokee, into a terminal.
The attack took place at 3.16pm. It has since emerged how close the
police were to arresting them. At 2.45pm, the Paisley Cab Company,
regularly used by the two doctors, was visited by officers. They
were told that Dr Abdulla had made at least one journey to the
airport by taxi, on 13 June, but had not boarded a flight. The jeep
used in the airport assault, registration number L808 RDT, was
bought three days later, on 16 June, for £1,720, reportedly in
Merseyside.
Police have been told that the 4x4 was subsequently parked for
several weeks at Wordsworth Street in Toxteth, Liverpool, almost
equidistant from two locations raided by the police at the weekend.
Sabeel Ahmed, a doctor, was arrested, after being disabled with a
Taser stun gun by police in Liverpool. According to police sources,
one of the targets of the operation was Dr Haneef, who was
apprehended in Brisbane yesterday.
The families of Dr Mohammed Asha, 26, and his wife, Marwa Danna,
27, a laboratory researcher, who were arrested on the M6 motorway,
continued to protest his innocence yesterday.
Mrs Asha's father, Yunis Danna, denied she had links to terrorism
and said she was not an extremist. He said: "Marwa is a very
educated person and she read many British novels to know England
better, a country she liked so much. I'm so worried about Marwa,
Mohammed and my grandson, Anas. I'm desperate for information."
The security service and the police reiterated yesterday that they
had no prior intelligence on the bomb plots. However, Professor
Anthony Glees, of the Brunel Centre for Intelligence and Security,
told Channel 4 News yesterday evening that he understood that at
least one of the men arrested was known to the police and MI5
before the attacks.
He said: "My understanding is at least one of these people was on
the list of 1,600 identified people. This list was referred to by
Eliza Manningham-Buller [the former MI5 director general] last
autumn."
Dr Hamish Meldrum, of the British Medical Association, said: "Like
others we are shocked to hear of the attempted bombings. Overseas
doctors have made an invaluable contribution to the NHS over the
years and it would be dreadful if the trust that exists between
patients and doctors was harmed by these events."
Dr Haneef, an Indian who trained in Bangalore, had worked at the
North Cheshire Hospitals NHS Trust at Halton Hospital until 2005.
He joined the Gold Coast Hospital, in Queensland, in September
arriving, said the state premier, Peter Beattie, with " excellent
references". He was detained under anti-terrorism laws as he tried
to board a flight to India as a result of a mobile telephone call
between one of the suspects arrested in the UK.
THE SUSPECTS
Khalid Ahmed
Born: IRAQ. ["Suicide bomber."] Seen dousing himself in petrol
after jumping from the Jeep that smashed into Glasgow airport.
Believed to have shared a house in Renfrewshire with Dr Abdullah.
It is now believed that he was in Piccadilly, London, on the night
of the abortive nightclub plot. He remains in a critical condition
in Royal Alexandra Hospital, Paisley.
Bilal Talal Abdul Samad Abdulla, 27
Born: IRAQ. ["Suicide bomber."] Passenger in the Jeep that
smashed into Glasgow airport on Saturday. Worked as a locum house
officer at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley. [Received his
medical degree from] Baghdad University in 2004 and was granted a

(Asha's wife) Marwa Danna, 27
Born: Jordan. Thought to have been a lab technician at the Royal
Shrewsbury Hospital where Mohammed Asha, her husband, had worked.
She moved to Britain with him soon after their marriage. Her
husband indicated to the family from whom he rented a house in

Shropshire. Arrested with him.
Medical Student, 28
Born: SAUDI ARABIA. The suspect had completed his training last
month at the hospital and been told he could look for a qualified

NHS doctors of death
Daily Star (UK), 04/07/07
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news_detail.html?sku=1960
DETECTIVES were last night hunting four more “Doctors of Death”
suspected of plotting the failed wave of car bombings.
All eight of the suspects held so far in an investigation spanning
the world have links to the NHS. Security sources say up to 12 al-
Qaida fanatics were sent to work for the health service.
Detectives are carrying out detailed checks on the UK’s 6,000 Arab
doctors to track down any extremists hidden among them.
The hunt spread to Australia when doctor Mohammed Haneef was seized
trying to flee through Brisbane airport. Sources called it a “key
arrest”.
Haneef had worked in England and was understood to have been
tracked down after British detectives found evidence of phone calls
between him and some of the others arrested.
Intelligence services say the bombers behind the attacks in London
and Glasgow at the weekend were directly recruited by Abu Hamza al-
Muhajir, al-Qaida’s leader in Iraq. They are believed to have
joined the terror network while living in the Middle East up to
three years ago, under instructions to lay low until the strike.
Al-Qaida chiefs wanted terrorists with medical backgrounds because
it made it easier for them to get into Western countries.
Seven of the suspects are junior doctors or medical students, while
alleged ringleader Mohammed Asha’s wife Marwah, 27, used to be a
lab technician at an NHS hospital.
The driver of the blazing Jeep which ploughed into Glasgow Airport
was named by police insiders last night as Dr Khalid Ahmed. He is
under armed guard in hospital, where he is being treated for 90%
burns.
A source said: “The fact they are all in the medical profession
gives them the perfect network to allow them to communicate freely
and associate together without suspicion.” An estimated 80,000
foreign doctors are working in the NHS, including 6,000 who worked
in the Middle East.
Almost a third – 1,985 – were trained in Iraq, including suspect
Bilal Abdulla, 27. Another 184 came from Jordan like brain surgeon
Asha, 26, who has a young son Anas. His landlord in Newcastle-under-
Lyme, Staffs, revealed that he had been “very concerned” about
racism against his wife.
The suspect seized in Brisbane, Mohammed Haneef, was arrested on a
tip-off from British detectives.
He worked in Liverpool up to last year, along with a second doctor
being interviewed by police in Australia.
Haneef, 27, was previously based at hospitals in Cheshire,
including Halton Hospital in Runcorn, where a 26-year-old man
arrested in Liverpool over the failed plots also worked.
He moved to Australia last September as a registrar at Gold Coast
Hospital in Southport, Queensland.
Police pounced at Brisbane airport as Haneef tried to board a
flight to India with a one-way ticket.
Officers were last night searching his small £100-a-week flat,
along with several more addresses in Queensland.
A second Gold Coast doctor, Mohammed Asif Ali – Haneef’s colleague
and former flatmate in Liverpool – was also being questioned by
police but had not been arrested.
Britain remained on “critical” alert yesterday with controlled
explosions carried out on a car left outside a mosque in Glasgow
and on fire extinguishers dumped near Hammersmith Tube station in
west London.
In another dramatic move, officers arrested two [East Indian] men
on suspicion of terror offences after gas canisters were delivered
to an industrial estate in Blackburn, Lancs.
More than 100 flights were cancelled when a suspect package forced
the partial evacuation of Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 4.
Three of those held in Scotland – Bilal Abdulla and two Saudi
trainee doctors, aged 28 and 25 – were handed over to police in
London. It emerged Dr Abdulla visited Glasgow Airport at least once
by taxi before allegedly attacking it in the burning Jeep.
The alleged terror network unravelled when police found vital
information on mobile phones, left by the bombers to trigger the
London blasts.
Officers are understood to have discovered crucial phone numbers on
the SIM cards in the phones.
The trail led them to Glasgow, where detectives were hunting
Abdulla hours before the airport attack.
Police are also understood to have used the phones to track Asha
and his wife as they drove along the M6 in Cheshire on Saturday night.
Extremist Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary sparked outrage yesterday by
claiming the foiled attacks were “completely justified”. And the
British-based preacher boasted there will be more attacks to come.
But the Muslim Council of Britain condemned the terrorists.
Secretary-general Dr Muhammed Abdul Bari said those who aimed to
kill or maim innocent people are “enemies of all of Muslims and non-
Muslims”.
