Dr. Sabeel Ahmed is a suspect arrested after the 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack. He studied at the Dr B R Ambedkar Medical College - an affiliated college of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences between 1998 and 2003 and completed his internship in 2003-2004, moving to the UK in November 2004 to pursue higher studies [1].
Dr. Ahmed is the brother of Kafeel Ahmed,[2] who was also arrested in the aftermath of the attack, and has been variously reported as the second cousin[3], uncle[4], or brother[5] of Dr. Mohammed Haneef, with whom he studied medicine in Bangalore, and who was arrested at the Brisbane Airport on July 2, 2007. Dr Mohamed Haneef is a second cousin of Dr Sabeel as their grandparents are brother and sister[6]. He was immobilized with a Tazer at the time of his arrest.
Dr. Ahmed was given Dr. Haneef's British mobile phone SIM card when the latter left Britain last year to take a job at the Gold Coast Hospital in Queensland, Australia.[7]. He is reported to have applied for medical positions in Western Australia in 2005, but was rejected after officials because of concerns over their qualifications and references.[8][9] He was a member of the Tablighi Jamaat missionary sect.[10]
On July 14, 2007, British police charged Sabeel Ahmed with failing to disclose information that could have prevented an act of terrorism.[11]
