Doctor cleared in British terror plot free on bail

42 minutes ago

LONDON (AP) — A Jordanian doctor cleared of involvement in botched car bomb attacks in London and Scotland but still facing a deportation order has been granted bail and freed.

Although neurologist Mohammed Asha was acquitted of being involved in the bomb plots, he was still ordered to be sent back to Jordan. He's appealing that order and was released Friday while the legal process plays out.

Another doctor, Bilal Abdulla, was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the botched attacks.

An accused accomplice, Kafeel Ahmed, died after trying to crash a Jeep loaded with explosives through the entrance doors to Glasgow airport on June 30, 2007. The car's path was blocked and explosives failed to detonate.

Ahmed's brother, Sabeel Ahmed, was deported to India after he admitted withholding evidence from police.

Deportation case withdrawn against doctor accused of London bombings link
Ben Bailey

The Government is no longer seeking to deport the doctor accused of involvement in the London and Glasgow bomb plots, sources said today.

The Home Office had maintained that despite Mohammed Asha being cleared at trial, he still presented a threat to national security.

The case against him was due to be heard by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac) in October, but has been withdrawn.

At a Siac bail hearing in January, lawyers for the Home Secretary said Dr Asha was a threat to national security and should be sent back to Jordan.

But the panel, chaired by Mr Justice Mitting, ruled he could be released on bail on the condition that he reported to a police station near his Birmingham home once a week.

At the hearing, the Home Office maintained Dr Asha had provided "substantial funds" to Iraqi doctor Bilal Abdulla, who was sentenced to 32 years in prison for conspiracy to murder.

Abdulla, and Kafeel Ahmed who died in the attacks, plotted to kill hundreds of people by planting two bombs in the West End in June 2007.
When that failed, they drove a Jeep packed with petrol bombs and gas canisters into a terminal building at Glasgow Airport.

Dr Asha was accused of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions but was cleared by a jury at Woolwich Crown Court.

He told the tribunal he wants to stay in this country and continue his work as an NHS neurosurgeon, but officials are still examining his immigration status.

A Home Office source said Dr Asha's application for leave to remain in the UK is still being considered by officials.

The source confirmed the Government was no longer seeking to deport Dr Asha on the grounds that his presence was "not conducive to the public good".

"He has applied for leave to remain, which is being considered. A decision will be made in due course," the source said.

Photo Of The Moment: Mohammed Asha Comes Home

Jordanian doctor Mohammed Asha carries his son, surrounded by relatives and friends, upon his arrival in Amman, Jordan, Monday, Sept. 7, 2009. In August 2009 the Home Office dropped attempts to deport the Jordanian doctor, after he was cleared in a trial last year of involvement in botched car bombs attacks in London and Glasgow.

    At his trial, the jury was told that Asha lent his friend, Bilal Abdulla, £1,500. However, Asha insisted that he felt disturbed at Abdulla’s growing fascination with Islamic terrorism, and that he disliked Kafeel Ahmed, the deceased conspirator. In a police interview, Asha described how he attempted to encourage Abdulla to ’settle down, concentrate on his career and abandon such silly thoughts’. On 16 December 2008 Asha was found not guilty of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosions, the jury accepted that he was an innocent ‘dupe’ who knew nothing of the plot that his friends, Bilal Abdulla and Kafeel Ahmed, had planned. The judge at his trial criticised the counter-terrorism police for twice interviewing Asha without a solicitor and in his summing up he told the jury, “What this trial may have revealed to you, on this occasion, [is that] Mohammed Asha’s rights were not fully respected.” Footage played to the jury showed police officers swearing at and ridiculing Asha, and the prosecution also admitted that interviewing officers told Asha that they found new evidence regarding him which they knew to be untrue. [source]

This is a guy who basically arrested for knowing these two guys. In other words, the police found him guilty by association. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in that position; to be considered, at such a young age, as being on track to becoming one of the UK’s top neurosurgeons, and probably go on to accomplish great things in the world of medicine, only to be arrested for conspiracy.

It’s disgusting.

I hope he can rebuild his life.

Justice
Scottish Parliament Written answers, 9 October 2009

Nigel Don (Scottish National Party) | Question S3W-28072

To ask the Scottish Executive how the decision to transfer the suspects for the Glasgow Airport bombing to the custody of the Metropolitan Police on 2 July 2007 was taken.


Elish Angiolini:

I am aware of claims made in a book published yesterday by a former assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Andy Hayman, about the decision to transfer the suspects to London. Mr Hayman’s account of how the decision was taken in July 2007 does not reflect the fact that the only issue was where, legally, the case could be brought to trial, given the cross border nature of the conduct under investigation.

I am concerned, in particular, about the suggestion that the decision to transfer the suspects to London was a political one. This suggests a basic misunderstanding of my role as the independent head of the system of prosecution in Scotland. The decision was taken solely by me in the public interest with the intention of securing the most effective investigation and prosecution of the terrorist plot. There were no political considerations whatsoever in the decision and to have allowed such considerations would have amounted to a gross breach of my independence.

Mr Hayman also suggests that time was wasted in persuading me that a transfer was the correct decision. I wish to make it absolutely clear that my decision did not delay the investigation in any way. I recognised the need for an effective cross-border investigation from the very first moment but was keen to ensure, before agreeing to transfer the suspects, that the English prosecutors were absolutely satisfied that the English courts would have jurisdiction over the attack in Glasgow. I received such an assurance from the Attorney General on the afternoon of 2 July 2009 and immediately agreed to the transfer at that point.

This was absolutely not about lawyers – far less politicians – being obstructive, but it was about lawyers doing their jobs in the interests of justice: no-one, including Mr Hayman, would have thanked me or the Attorney General if it had not been possible to bring the accused to trial for the Glasgow Airport attack.

The criticisms do a disservice to the very impressive joint work by Scottish and English police and prosecutors which saw one of the terrorists, Bilal Abdulla, sentenced in December 2008 to a minimum of 32 years imprisonment for both attacks.
