Court grants Delhi police two more months to complete probe into terror case

2021-05-19

[OneIndia] A Delhi court has granted two more months to complete the investigation against an alleged member of terrorist outfit al-Qaeda, arrested in connection for providing logistic and financial assistances to other members of the organization in India and abroad.

Special Judge Dharmender Rana allowed an application moved by Delhi police, which had sought more time to complete the probe against Sabeel Ahmed.

The accused, a member of banned terrorist outfit al-Qaeda in the Indian Sub-Continent (AQIS), was arrested on February 22 by the special cell of Delhi Police, for providing assistance to other members to carry out terrorist activities.

The police had moved the application since the investigation related to the accused was still continuing and the period to file charge sheet against him was going to expire on May 22, 2021, i.e. three months from the arrest.

If the charge sheet was not filed within three months from the arrest, or the court had not granted more time to the probe agency to complete the investigation, the accused would have been entitled to get statutory bail in the case.

The judge observed that the prosecution had set out a case for the extension of the statutory time period to conclude the investigation.

As a cumulative effect of the aforesaid discussion, I have no hesitation in observing that the prosecution has set out a case for extension of the statutory time period to conclude investigation and the application at hand deserves to be allowed.

However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
the IO (investigating officer) is not divested of his obligation of concluding investigations expeditiously. Therefore, he is permitted to conclude the pending investigation qua accused Sabeel Ahmed till July 22, 2021, the judge said in an order passed on May 13.

In its application seeking extension of the period to complete the probe by August 18, the police said the investigation could not be concluded despite efforts due to present pandemic situation.

The application was opposed by advocates M S Khan and Qausar Khan, appearing for the accused, who said that the probe agency had already got enough time to complete the investigation.

Ahmed is also an accused in suicidal terror attack at Glasgow Airport (United Kingdom) on June 30, 2007.

He was deported from Saudi Arabia

The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were, to inclid Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
on August 20, 2020 and was taken into custody by NIA in another terror case lodged in Bengaluru.

His custody was later taken by the special cell of Delhi Police in the present matter on February 22, this year.

Plot to kill Hindus in Bengaluru, Nanded, Hyderabad: NIA charges two Lashkar operatives

2021-02-23

The NIA are still working this case dating back to 2012.

[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency has filed a chargesheet in connection with a Lashkar-e-Tayiba conspiracy case.

The NIA filed the chargesheet against, Dr. Sabeel Ahmed alias Motu Doctor of Bengaluru and Assadullah Khan of Hyderabad.

The case pertains to the conspiracy hatched by the members of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba and Harkat-ul-Jihadi Islami to commit subversive activities and wage war against Government of India.

They had procured illegal arms and ammunition for assassinations of important personalities of Hindu community in Bangalore and Hubli in Karnataka, Nanded in Maharashtra and in Hyderabad, Telangana to disturb the communal harmony and strike terror in society.

Investigation established that accused persons Dr.Sabeel Ahmed and Asadulla Khan are members of proscribed terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Tayiba. They were involved in criminal conspiracy along with other accused persons in supporting and furthering the cause of outfit in Damam and Riyadh, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
. They had actively participated in conspiracy meetings in which terrorist activities like assassinations of important personalities of Hindu community in Bangalore and Hubli in Karnataka and Nanded in Maharashtra were planned.

The background:

Dr Motu was a mysterious character when the National Investigation Agency (NIA) started its probe into an liquidation plot at Bengaluru.

According to the details of this plot, a group of boys had decided on targeting several Hindu leaders and journalists.

Further probing found that the plot extended to Telangana and Maharashtra as well.

During the course of the investigation, it came to light that a doctor based in Saudi Arabia was also part of the plot.

The various transcripts that the Sherlocks collected found that this person was being referred to as Dr Motu.

The NIA had claimed that this person was Dr Sabeel Ahmed, the brother of Kafeel Ahmed an accused in the Glasgow (UK) terror plot.

...the 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack with what would have been a nasty car bomb, had it actually exploded, with a connected set of car bombs that also did not go off in London. It might easily have been called a doctors’ plot, given how many of those arrested were MDs. The whole thing was a project of Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent, with handlers in Saudi Arabia...

Dr Sabeel Ahmed who was also questioned in connection with the Glasgow attack was deported to India after that incident.

When the NIA had identified Dr Motu for the first time and it was reported in the media, there was a denial issued by him. He had said that he was given to understand that he had taken part in some meetings in Riyadh in connection with this plot.

This is a ridiculous allegation against me and I deny all the charges he had said at that time.

The NIA in its chargesheet states that Dr Sabeel Ahmed was a key player in the plot.

The NIA accuses him of being part of meetings and also making financial and logistic support in connection with this plot.

In all the NIA has named 25 persons in the chargesheet on the ground that they were planning on killing Hindu leaders in Karnataka, Telangana and Maharashtra.

Hindustan Times adds:

According to NIA, the case was initially registered by the police in Bengaluru on August 29, 2012,

...the mills of justice grinding very slowly indeed, on this one...

and pertains to conspiracy hatched by members of LeT and Harkat-ul-Jehad-e-Islami (HuJI) to commit subversive activities and wage war against India.

It was taken over by the NIA on November 25, 2012. The agency chargesheeted 17 people in the case after investigation.

The NIA said that the two people named today were involved in criminal conspiracy along with other accused in supporting and furthering the cause of the terror groups in Damam and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They had also actively participated in meetings in which activities like targeted killings of important personalities of Hindu community were planned, it further added.

The NIA special court had convicted 13 accused people in 2016; they were sentenced to five-year imprisonment.

While trial is continuing against three accused, further investigation against six absconding accused persons continues.

Suspected Al-Qaeda man chargesheeted

2018-01-23

[The Hindu] The Delhi police on Monday chargesheeted suspected al-Qaeda terrorist Zishan Ali in a case of allegedly making provocative speeches to recruit youths here and establish a base for the terror outfit. Ali was deported to India from Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
last August.

Taking the investigation report on record, Additional Sessions Judge Sidharth Sharma posted the case to February 2 for consideration on taking cognisance.

The police enjugged
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
Ali over a year after three alleged al-Qaeda operatives were arrested in 2015.

The police said that Ali, a resident of Jamshedpur in Jharkhand, operated from Saudi Arabia. He is believed to be married to the sister of Sabeel Ahmed, a cousin of the 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack criminal mastermind Kafeel Ahmed, who had moved from Bengaluru to Saudi Arabia in 2010-11.

The police secured an arrest warrant against Ali in June 2016. His name was also mentioned in a chargesheet filed against alleged al-Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) accused persons. Ali’s brother Syed Mohammed Arshiyan, who was last spotted in Saudi Arabia, allegedly has links with international terror outfits. He is also wanted by Indian probe agencies.

The police first came to know about the two brothers from AQIS accused and Cuttack-based holy man Abdul Rehman, who was arrested in December 2015.

Rehman allegedly disclosed that he knew Arshiyan since 2003. He later came in contact with his brother Ali. The accused said that through Arshiyan, Dr. Ahmed and other Saudi Arabia-based contacts, he had sent some young men to Pakistain for training in terror camps there.

Intelligence agencies had started working on the AQIS module soon after a video by al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-

Doctor Accused in Plot Is Cleared

2008-09-01

An Indian-born doctor arrested in Australia in July 2007 and accused of helping the men behind the bungled bombings in central London and the Glasgow airport that summer has been cleared of any wrongdoing, the Australian Federal Police said late Friday.

At the time of the arrest in 2007, the police told the court that a cellphone SIM card belonging to the doctor, Mohammed Haneef, had been found in one of the cars used in the planned attacks. Dr. Haneef had given the card to his cousin, Sabeel Ahmed, one of the suspects in the bombings, the year before when the two were living in Britain. But the police later admitted that the card had not been found in the vehicle.

The case against Dr. Haneef fell apart when other irregularities surfaced. Charges were dropped, but immigration revoked his visa. His lawyers said Friday that Dr. Haneef, now living in Dubai, wanted a formal apology and damages in the case.

India to probe Glasgow bomber's brother

2008-05-09

An Indian doctor who was jailed in Britain for withholding information about planned car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow has returned to India but will now face questioning by local police, an officer said.

Sabeel Ahmed, 26, arrived in the southern city of Bangalore on Thursday escorted by two British policemen, after serving 270 days in jail in Britain. He is the younger brother of Kafeel Ahmed, an engineer, who drove a jeep into the Glasgow airport terminal building on June 30 last year and set it alight. Kafeel died later in hospital from 90 percent burns. Police later arrested Sabeel Ahmed after learning that he was sent an e-mail with details of the attacks from his brother before he drove the jeep to Glasgow airport.

Sabeel was sentenced to 18 months in jail in April, but was allowed to go free because he had already spent around half that time in custody, and after he had confessed and signed a document stating that he would retun to India voluntarily. On Thursday, Sabeels mother said her son was tired and resting in their hometown of Bangalore. He did not cry, I cried. We are all happy to have him back, Zakia Ahmed, his mother said.

But Indian police said they were interested in questioning him, as part of an investigation into the banned Muslim group, the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). It could be a routine investigation, said a senior officer of the Corps of Detectives in the state of Karnataka state. We want to examine his role before he left India, the officer, who did not want to be named, said.
SIMI has been blamed for helping to carry out several bomb attacks in India. Police have arrested a medical student and a software engineer in Bangalore recently, following the arrest of the groups leader Safdori Nagori and 12 other senior members in March this year.

Bangalore police may question Sabee

2008-04-14

The Bangalore police are likely to question Sabeel Ahmed, who will be deported to India from the United Kingdom after he pleaded guilty to withholding information about his brother Kafeels plot to blow up the Glasgow airport. Dr. Ahmed, despite being handed a 18-month imprisonment, is expected to reach Bangalore in a couple of days as he has already served the time in remand.

A senior police official told The Hindu that the police had not yet decided the nature of the investigation. As he has been convicted now, we would like to get more details after questioning him. The official said: The Bangalore police have already questioned the members of Sabeels family, and during our investigation here we came to know that he had not disclosed information about his brothers plot to blow up Glasgow airport in a suicide attack.

Dr. Ahmed, who was working at the Halton Hospital in Runcom after completing medical education at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Medical College here, was arrested after Kafeel, along with his associates, tried to bomb the Glasgow airport in June 2007. He was arrested for withholding information about his brothers act.

A top Corps of Detectives official said the police had to study the conditions, if any, placed by the U.K. government for deporting Dr. Ahmed. We have to look into the legal aspects as there is no case against him here. We have to see whether the U.K. government wants anything from us.

The police had to take into consideration the protection he enjoyed after having served a sentence in the U.K., the official said.

Date not clear
Though the news of Dr. Ahmed return to India has brought cheer to his family, the members are not sure when he will be coming. His mother, Zakia Ahmed, told The Hindu: We are happy that our son is returning home. But the family has no idea about the date of Sabeels arrival to Bangalore. The process of deportation has not yet begun as immigration offices were closed for the weekend. By grace of God, our troubles are finally coming to an end.

When I spoke to Sabeel on Saturday, he said that you [Dr. Zakia] have waited for a year, wait for some more days I will be back. The family had not yet planned for the celebrations as it had no clue to the date of his arrival.

Doctor guilty in UK airport terror case

2008-04-12

An explosive-laden Jeep was halted only meters away from airline passengers at Glasgow airport last year when two men attempted a suicide attack as part of a plot to bomb London and Scotland, a prosecutor told a court on Friday.

Two men inside the sport utility vehicle, which they had set on fire, hurled petrol bombs and repeatedly attempted to ram their way into an airport terminal during an attempted terrorist strike in June, prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw said. Laidlaw said driver Kafeel Ahmed was engulfed in flames as he emerged from the Jeep and attempted to hurl petrol bombs at the terminal. Ahmed later died in hospital from severe burns.

So he roasted before he got to Hell. Good.

Many details of the case were outlined publicly for the first time by Laidlaw after Kafeel's brother, Sabeel Ahmed, pleaded guilty to an offense of withholding information about the attacks from British authorities. The Indian-born doctor will be sentenced later Friday.

Two other men are due to go on trial over the attacks in October.

A day before the attempted attack in Glasgow, two Mercedes packed with gas canisters were discovered in London's entertainment district. Around 500 people were evacuated from a nightclub after one of the cars was discovered outside.

Laidlaw said the men attempted the suicide attack at Glasgow's airport after their plot to bomb London failed. He told the Old Bailey criminal court in central London that cell phone detonators in the cars failed, likely because dense fuel vapors caused them to malfunction.

The attacks came in the week British Prime Minister Gordon Brown took office, replacing Tony Blair as leader. "The attack to be conducted at Glasgow was to be a suicide attack likely to result in the loss of both their lives," Laidlaw said. Their attack caused panic within the terminal, Laidlaw said, and some vacationers suffered minor injuries as passengers fled and ran through the building.

Laidlaw said Kafeel Ahmed made repeated attempts to drive the blazing Jeep Cherokee through entrance doors to the airport. "Despite his efforts, the vehicle became trapped," he told the court. "Those who witnessed him described a set and determined face as he stared forward."

Laidlaw said the vehicle came to rest six meters (20 feet) away from passengers lining up at check-in desks. Ahmed's passenger threw a petrol bomb toward a taxi rank as the driver "began to pour and splash fuel from a can on to the area outside the car window," Laidlaw said. The driver "got out of the vehicle and was engulfed in flames that swept around the Jeep and terminal building," he said.

Kafeel sent his brother a text message between the London and Glasgow attacks, which included suggestions on how to mislead investigators in the aftermath of the planned strike, Laidlaw said. "This is a project I was working on for some time now," part of the message read, Laidlaw said. "Everything since last week was executed by me and my team."

Bangalore engineer with terror designs held

2008-02-23

BANGALORE: An electrical engineer who was once employed with a leading US multinational and is an active member of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) has been arrested from Bangalore by police who claim the 32-year-old could hold the key to cracking a dangerous terror web that spanned swathes of India, from UP to Kerala.

A native of a village near Kozhikode, Kerala, Yahya Iyash Kamkutty came to Bangalore eight years ago after completing a bachelor's degree in engineering from one of Kerala's best institutes. While working with GE, he kept in touch with terror suspects Mohammed Asif, Asadullah Abubaker and their associates. The gang held several meetings in north Karnataka and were preparing to strike at key installations in the state, police said.

Yahya's arrest late on Thursday once again points to the increasing use of highly-trained professionals being lured into terror groups which have used sophisticated methods and planning in their attacks.

It was from Bangalore that Glasgow bomber Kafeel Ahmed, a PhD scholar in aeronautical engineering and his brother, Sabeel Ahmed, went to UK.

Police said Yahya became more active in SIMI after he lost his job at GE while trying to steal data to set up his own firm.

It was another arrested terror suspect, Mohammed Asif, who revealed the name of Yahya and his association with SIMI. Thereafter, the cops, who were investigating recent terror cases in north Karnataka, started questioning Yahya. Finally, on Thursday night, he was arrested.

Police have seized a laptop, hard disc, jihadi material and hundreds of books from Yahya's house. They would be sending the hard disc for decoding information. They are hoping to get his contacts, communication and plans from the email communication.

Karnataka sleuths took Yahya to Hubli to produce him before a magistrate because the case is registered there. They plan to take him in their custody and put him through polygraph tests, brain mapping and narcoanalysis

Court overturns doctor's terror visa ban

2007-08-21

An Australian court has overturned a government decision to revoke the visa of an Indian doctor who was accused, but later cleared, of involvement in the failed car bomb attacks on London and Glasgow. The courts decision was a bitter blow for the federal government, which has been criticised by civil rights groups and lawyers for its bungled arrest and subsequent release of Dr Mohamed Haneef in July.

Also a blow to common sense.

Dr Haneef, 27, was arrested in Brisbane, Queensland, in July and held for 11 days before being charged with recklessly supporting terrorism by giving the SIM card of his mobile phone to a second cousin, Sabeel Ahmed, after leaving the UK last year.

British police have charged Sabeel, 26, with withholding information that could have prevented an act of terrorism. His brother, Kafeel, died earlier this month of burns sustained when he allegedly crashed a Jeep packed with explosives into the front of Glasgow Airport on June 30.

Charges against Dr Haneef were dropped for lack of evidence and he consistently maintained that he gave away his SIM card so that his cousin could take advantage of extra minutes remaining on a pre-paid plan.

Needed those extra minutes to finalize the terror plan.

During his detention, immigration minister Kevin Andrews revoked Dr Haneefs working visa on character grounds, saying he had a reasonable suspicion the doctor had an association with Sabeel and Kafeel Ahmed.

But Justice Jeffery Spender ruled that Andrews made a technical error in cancelling the visa by applying a character test incorrectly. Justice Spender granted the government 21 days to respond to his ruling. Mr Andrews said the government would appeal. When I made the decision to cancel Dr Haneefs visa, I made it in the national interest and I stand by that decision, the minister said.

The government was accused of making him a scapegoat.
What side are these courts on again?

That's a rhetorical question, right?

Haneef decision due at noon

2007-08-20

INDIAN doctor Mohamed Haneef will today learn whether he will be allowed to return to work in Australia.

Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews cancelled the former terror suspect's work visa on character grounds last month saying he had a reasonable suspicion Dr Haneef had "associated" with terrorists.

He referred specifically to Dr Haneef's second cousins Kafeel and Sabeel Ahmed, both allegedly involved in failed bomb plots in the UK in June.

Dr Haneef's lawyers have appealed the decision and at a hearing in the Federal Court at Brisbane on August 8, they argued for his visa to be reinstated so he can continue his physician training at the Gold Coast Hospital.

They disputed the minister's use of the word "association" and questioned whether any relationship with an alleged criminal, even an innocent one, would be enough to justify a visa cancellation.

Solicitor General David Bennett QC, told the court "association" in the minister's usage, was more like "mates" to the average Australian.

He said not only had Mr Haneef given his mobile phone SIM card to Sabeel Ahmed when he left the UK last year, but he had borrowed money from Kafeel and stayed with the brothers for a short time.

Following the day-and-a-half long hearing, Justice Jeffrey Spender reserved his decision until noon (AEST) today.

Dr Haneef still wanted to return to work in Australia, his lawyer Peter Russo said today.

Mr Russo said he spoke to Dr Haneef, who is still in India, last night.

"The main issue is what he wants to do in the future," Mr Russo told ABC radio.

"And it's his wish to return to Australia to continue his studies."

However, Mr Russo said there were some issues with that.

"The main issue is that he doesn't have a visa, but the other issue is that perhaps his family may not think that it's the wisest thing for him to do."

UK airport carbomber's email: I want to die for Allah

2007-08-20

Detectives investigating the attempted car bombing of Glasgow airport have recovered a "claim of responsibility" written by Kafeel Ahmed, who died from burns he suffered in the attack, the Guardian has learned. Ahmed, 27, suffered more than 90% burns after he drove a Jeep laden with improvised explosives into the airport terminal, in Britain's first attempted suicide car bombing.

Evidence recovered pointing to his role in June's attempted attacks in London and Glasgow includes an email message sent just before the Glasgow attempted bombing, talking of martyrdom; CCTV footage from one of the failed car bombings in London showing a man relatives say is Ahmed, running away; evidence from a computer he used, showing visits to bomb-making websites; and his mobile phone from the smouldering Jeep.

The attack on Glasgow on June 30 came a day after two car bombs failed to go off near a crowded nightclub in the West End of London. On June 30, Ahmed sent a text message to a relative just after 1.30pm which contained a link to an email and a password to access it. Two hours later the engineer, who was born in Bangalore, crashed the Jeep into the terminal. Those who have seen the email regard it as Ahmed claiming responsibility for the attempted attacks on London and the one he was about to stage in Glasgow. According to a source, Ahmed says his actions were carried out in the name of Allah. Ahmed writes that his relative would be shocked to read what he is about to tell him about his involvement in terrorism, praises God, and says he wants martyrdom.

Hokay, you got it.

Initial evidence points to the relative opening the email at 4.50pm on the Saturday, 90 minutes after Ahmed had rammed the airport. From the email, the source said, it was clear he was expecting to die. The flames that engulfed the vehicle were quickly put out, allowing Ahmed's mobile to be recovered. He is believed to have used the mobile to send either the text message or the email to his relative.

A Whitehall source said it was believed that Ahmed decided to attack Glasgow after fearing police would soon hunt him down, which meant that the planning was rushed. The Guardian understands that police have CCTV images that show Ahmed apparently running away from the scene of the first London attack, and scurrying away from a car the terrorists meant to explode. Relatives shown the images are said to be nearly certain it is him.

Police have also seized his computer and found evidence it had been used to scour websites on the construction of bombs and explosives. Ahmed died at Glasgow Royal Infirmary on August 2.

The other man in the Jeep, the Iraqi doctor Bilal Abdullah, has been charged with conspiring to set off explosions "of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury". Two other people have been charged over the attacks. A Jordanian doctor, Mohammed Jamil Asha, is charged with conspiring to cause explosions. Ahmed's brother, Sabeel Ahmed, 26, is charged with withholding information that could prevent an act of terrorism.

Mustapha Skingraft is no more

2007-08-03

I think this is the third time we've run this.

A terrorist suspect who was being treated for severe burns following the failed car bomb attack on Glasgow Airport has died in hospital.

Ahmed, 27, was being cared for at a specialist unit at Glasgow Royal Infirmary after the incident on June 30. After being doused with a fire extinguisher by an off-duty policeman, Ahmed was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital, in Paisley.

Ahmed, who is also known as Khalid, suffered 90% burns and spent 33 days in hospital before succumbing to his injuries.

A spokesman for the Scottish Executive defended Ahmed's treatment.He said: "There has been some comment about the treatment provided for him by the NHS.

"It was perfectly right that he should have received the appropriate treatment our health service could offer as this reflects the value our society places on human life.

"The focus now should be on the criminal investigation that is under way."

The Glasgow Airport attack followed two suspected car bomb attempts in central London when police discovered two vehicles allegedly laden with gas canisters and fuel.

Ahmed's alleged accomplice Bilal Abdullah, 27, an Iraqi doctor, was arrested and charged with conspiring to cause explosions. Mohammed Asha, 26, from Newcastle-Under-Lyme, who was arrested on the M6 motorway near Sandbach in Cheshire on the day of the airport attack, is also accused of conspiring to cause explosions.

And Liverpool man Sabeel Ahmed, 26, has been charged with not disclosing information that could have helped police arrest a suspected terrorist.
The NHS succeeds where a jeep full of gas cannisters and petrol failed.
