Dr Sabeel Ahmed to arrive in India soon
Bangalore, May 7: Dr Sabeel Ahmed, who served 18 months in UK jail for withholding information about his brother Kafeel Ahmed involved in Glasgow Airport attack, is expected to be brought here here tonight after being deported by the UK government, according to family sources.
Dr Zakia Ahmed, Sabeel's mother, told UNI that he had called up yesterday saying he would be arriving here late in the night. "I am really happy that my son is coming back. All off us- his father Maqbool Ahmed and sister Sadia Kauser are anxiously waiting to see him. Our prayers have been answered. Allah is with us," she said.
In the June 30 attack, Kafeel was seen driving a jeep filled with propane canisters into the airport terminal and setting it alight.
But the burning vehicle failed to break through the glass doors and no one was injured. Kafeel, an engineer, subsequently succumbed to his burns.
Twentyeight year old Sabeel, who worked at the National Health Service and had admitted that he failed to inform police about Kafeel's plans to carry out the suicide bombing on June 30 last, will be escorted by two metropolitan police officers to Bangalore.
The London court held that he will be released from custody and deported to India because of the time he has already served while on trial. Sabeel, who hailed from Bangalore, was arrested in Liverpool on June 30, 2007.
