Police have searched two hospitals in Western Australia and are questioning a number of doctors over the plot to detonate car bombs in London and Glasgow. Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty said four Indian doctors had been interviewed and released, while another Indian doctor in New South Wales state was also being looked at in an investigation now spanning the country. Computers were also seized in raids on hospitals in the Western Australia state capital of Perth and the Outback mining town of Kalgoorlie. "The people we are trying to talk to at the moment, we are trying to gather evidence or information about the network, about who is linked to who and whether in fact anybody has committed any criminal offence," Mr Keelty added. He said the computers could have been in contact with Mohammed Haneef, who was arrested at Brisbane Airport on Monday as he tried to leave the country. A Queensland judge yesterday granted police an extra 96 hours to question the 27-year-old. Mr Keelty said no one had yet been charged, describing the investigation as difficult and complex, spanning three Australian states and internationally. But any prosecutions would occur in Britain, he said, meaning Haneef was likely to be extradited if police laid charges against him. (Telegraph)
