Doctors Weren’t Good Enough for the Australian Health System, but Anybody’s Good Enough for the NHS!

DAILY MAIL: Two of the doctors being held in Britain in the failed terrorist plot tried to get jobs in Australia.

Sabeel Ahmed, 26, and Khalid Ahmed, 25, were turned down by authorities in Western Australia state because their medical qualifications were not up to standard, a state official said.

Neither was denied entry for security reasons.

A third suspect - Muhammad Haneef, 27 - was arrested last week.

Australian police are quizzing four more Indian doctors today who worked in the NHS.

The medics - all of whom knew Haneef - were being questioned following raids in Perty and Kalgoorie in which computers and other material were seized.

The police said 31,000 documents, including foreign computer files, had been confiscated and links to the London and Glasgow bomb plots were becoming "more concrete". Australia turned down NHS 'bomb' doctors 'because they weren't good enough' (more)
