| Cleared Glasgow doctor considers suing for compensation |
| 2008-12-18 |
| The Muslim brain surgeon cleared of masterminding the failed car bombing of a nightclub and airport is set to pocket millions in compensation. Dr Mohammed Asha, 28, was acquitted by a jury of any involvement in the terror attacks on London and Glasgow. Last night he revealed he was considering suing the Home Office and police over his wrongful arrest which had “obliterated’’ his life. Legal sources said he could expect “at least seven figures’’. Dr Asha’s co-accused – British-born Iraqi National Health Service doctor Bilal Abdulla – was yesterday jailed for at least 32 years for the bungled raids that left an accomplice dead. Prosecutors at Woolwich Crown Court alleged Jordanian Dr Asha – a close pal of Abdulla’s – had co-ordinated the attacks in a series of meetings and phone calls. But the jury found he knew nothing of his friend’s plans. Last night he was still in jail and faces deportation after being told his presence “is not conducive to the public good”. In a statement read by his solicitor Tayab Ali, Dr Asha said: “This case has obliterated my life and the lives of my family.” His legal team said he intends to apply for bail and fight deportation. |
