Terror suspect granted bail
An Australian magistrate granted bail today for an Indian doctor accused of supporting foiled car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow, saying prosecutors had not provided evidence that he had a direct link to a terrorist group. But the government invoked immigration laws to keep him behind bars.
Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews told reporters in Canberra that he had canceled Mohammed Haneef’s working visa on suspicion that he had links to criminals.
Haneef was charged Saturday with providing support to a terrorist organization by giving his cellphone SIM card to British suspects Sabeel and Kafeel Ahmed when he moved to Australia in July 2006.
