Mohammed Haneef: Test of patience, really!

As Australian Federal Police was not able to prove any involvment in the acts of terror , detained Dr. Haneef for more than 10 days .As Dr.Haneef was brought him to the court on charge of being “reckless” as his SIM was used by Kafeel Ahmed, the perpetrator of Glasgow bombings, could not provide any face saving grace.

Dr.Haneef , first detainee under Australia’s 2004 anti-terrorism act, was released after a $10,000 bail which was accepted.

However, the wait for him to reach India to meet his mom,wife and new born daughter ,seems to be getting more longer as his visa has been cancelled and is moved to immigration detention center.

Hoping Government of India, intervenes and helps Haneef’s family at this tough moment

While civil activists are protesting his detention, it is a Test of patience, really! L

Terrorist plot and the Terminaly Ill

Most of the reports published since failed London & Glasgow bombings, have been absolutely absurd, few blatant lies, outright assumption and other few even ridiculous.

To give all of us a good laugh, Bangalore police after not gaining a single clue for more than year and half, is now investigating if Kafeel was involved in attacks on IISc (Earlier it was suspected it was masterminded by LeT).

 

According to me article written by Sanjay Suri (published by The News Today Bangladesh and Outlook India (July 16, 2007 now on stands) titled Terminal Illness is the most substantive & subtle description of failed bombings.

 

Author takes into account situational evidences when he mentions “The Glasgow attempt was just as clumsy. Driving a jeep into a building in Glasgow was never in itself going to set off an explosion. When the driver later set fire to it, burning himself first, no damage was done at the airport that some builders cannot fix in a week. Again, a quite untrained move. But one that is both reassuring and worrying. Reassuring, because almost certainly no real terrorist group was behind these attempts. Worrying, because the attempt shows how commonly available material such as petrol and gas cylinders can be deployed to shake up a nation. And if tapped more effectively through a detonating device, to blow up bits of it as well.”

 

Sanjay explains the psyche of perpetrators “The one doctor against whom there’s a watertight case is Bilal Abdullah, the Iraqi in the jeep that crashed into the Glasgow airport building. More than the July 7 bombers who had talked of their anger over Iraq, he would have reason to be angry. Early reports suggest Abdullah graduated from a Baghdad medical college in 2004–a year after the invasion of Iraq led by the United States and Britain. He would have seen in that year the brutal face of the invasion, and like the rest of Iraq would have lost the dream of the invaders bringing to Iraq the sort of democracy and development they know back home. An associate of his has said in an interview to the BBC that Abdullah was “very angry about the West”, that he “actively cheered the deaths of British and American troops in Iraq“.

The article would be incomplete without the expected backlash “And given the naming of Indians as suspects, their seeking a future in Britain’s health service could now become an unintended casualty.” Read the complete article:

Kafeel a terrorist, who else?

If one can believe that Kafeel a student of above average caliber can be a terrorist, then one can also buy my version of story:

Kafeel was befriended by religious zealots, however he was averse to their intentions.

The plot at London & Glasgow failed attempts are a façade and were planned to be a farce to create panic in public.

Meanwhile Kafeels’ friend had planned for an attack.On that day Kafeel was driving van, not knowing what it contained. While he was driving, his companion forced him to drive it into airport and Kafeel would not agree to it. There was a scuffle and  vehicle rammed into the parking. His companion sets him into a ball of fire or may be someone else.

Probably ,those reading this blog may have a better version of this story and others may call me insane.However knowing that; 

>British Police detained Mohammed Abdul Kahar and Abul Koyair only to release them later.

>British Prime Minister, Tony Blair had lied to the parliament & was lamented for sexing up the dossier to convince to go to war with Iraq.

>British Police had also detained 21 young British of subcontinent origin plotting for a large bombing, however it has not proved anything either.

There are other reasons that make it hard to believe Kafeel could ever be a terrorist.

>Kafeel Ahmed, scored 87% in his Mechanical Engineering degree.

>He was reserved student,articulate best in debates and also took part in extra curricular activities while never neglecting his studies.

>Kafeel was working on a project to improve the reading ability of visually impaired, as an expert in Computational Fluid Dynamics at Angila Technological University, Cambridge.

>Kafeel was also part of a team of professors and faculty members, which produced annual research report of Cambridge and Chelmsford universities in the UK.

God forbid, if Kafeel is really what media is reporting, there is something terribly wrong!

Mohammed Haneef : Terroist suspect or test of patience?

Excuse me for not agreeing with comments on this post “mentally unstable, socially crippled or simply excruciatingly lonely, then what he needs is a group of people who will offer him support.” to drive the point that Mohammed Haneef and Sabeel Ahmed , the doctor duo held for questioning in failed Glasgow & London bombings.

As Mohammed Asif Ali is released with out charge, let’s try to know more of Muhammed Haneef. & understand why I disagree  :

1)      His MBBS final-year statement of marks shows he scored a total of 1027 out of 1450 - more than 70 per cent. He had 326/400 in general medicine, 278/400 in surgery, 274/400 in obstetrics and gynaecology and 149/250 in paediatrics.

2)      Mohammed Haneef is a shouldering responsibility of his family, a lone bread winner, supporting his widowed mother, wife and brother studying engineering. He fathered a baby girl on June 26^th ,2007.

 3)      The hospital where he worked - rostered to general medicine and surgery - saw him as a “model citizen”, Queensland Premier Peter Beattie said. 

4)      The principal of Dr Ambedkar Medical College and Hospital, from where Haneef graduated and where he did his internship till late 2003, would agree.Remembering him as a “quiet and sensitive” boy, Dr B.R. Ramesh said: “He was conversant in both English and Kannada, and used to help others. It is hard to imagine him as part of any terrorist plot.”

 5)      In addition to this his manager Dr Brian Bell has this to say about Mohammed Haneef  “He’s a fairly quiet doctor, very conscientious, and performed at a very high clinical standard and he is very well regarded by his colleagues and patients “

Knighthood to Rushdie- A gimmick?

Conferring knighthood to Rushdie, Indian born British author is a surprise, though one can expect that it will not reprieve Muslim anger.

A celebrity himself , Rushdie at 60 is set to divorce his celebrity wife & model Padma Laxmi.

Rushdie famous/infamous for his work The Satanic Verses is on the run from his home country since 1989, as Iran issued a fatwa to kill him. 

While the Muslim world is protesting, failed attempts of bomb explosion in Glasgow and London come as a shock.

However, as doctors of Asian origin are allegedly at the helm of conspiracy, could it be another shock and awe strategy?Considering the fact that there are more than 1, 17,000, doctors in UK government’s National Health Scheme & UK’s preference to home grown European doctors, bomb attacks in Glasgow might be a well thought out plan.

As British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO) is up against arms with UK Home Office who is not relenting to change the immigration and work permit policy for the Indian and Non- European Union doctors.

 

July, set as the deadline for new immigration policy, Knighthood to Rushdie which of course is sufficient enough to welcome the ire of Muslim community and subsequent façade of failed suicide attempts can be reality!
