| Australian Federal Police granted more time to hold Dr. Haneef |
| 2007-07-09 |
| DETAINED Gold Coast doctor Mohamed Haneef will spend at least two extra days behind bars but is not expected to be questioned during that time. The development came last night after a Brisbane magistrate extended an existing custody order by 48 hours. The 27-year-old Gold Coast Hospital registrar has been held without charge for a week under federal counter-terrorism powers since he was arrested at Brisbane airport. He is being questioned over the failed attacks in London and Glasgow airport, as well as his connection with an underground network of radical Islamist doctors. It is understood the Australian Federal Police had initially asked for an extension of five days and that last night's extension effectively adjourns the application until tomorrow morning. Dr Haneef will remain detained at the city watchhouse and is not expected to be questioned before then. It is understood the extension will give the AFP time to respond to questions of law raised in yesterday's closed session hearing. AFP boss Mick Keelty has said officers could then ask for yet more time to hold Dr Haneef. more at link.. |
