(about 1 hour later) | |
An Indian doctor held in Australia over suspected failed bomb attacks in the UK is to be kept in custody despite a magistrate's ruling granting him bail. | |
Officials said that Mohammed Haneef, 27, would remain in detention under Australian immigration law. | |
Dr Haneef was charged on Saturday with providing "reckless support" to a terrorist organisation. | |
He is alleged to have given a mobile phone SIM card to two suspects in the UK attacks. He denies any involvement. | |
'National interest' | |
Earlier on Monday, a judge in Brisbane freed Dr Haneef on bail of A$10,000 (£4,300). | |
Magistrate Jacqui Payne said that prosecutors had failed to provide evidence of a direct link between Dr Haneef and a terrorist organisation. | |
I am satisfied that the cancellation is in the national interest Kevin Andrews,Immigration Minister | |
But Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews then announced that he had cancelled the doctor's working visa because of suspected links to criminal activity. | |
"I reasonably suspect that he has or has had an association with persons engaged in criminal activity, criminal conduct, namely terrorism in the UK," he told a news conference. | |
"I am satisfied that the cancellation is in the national interest." | |
Dr Haneef would be taken into immigration custody if the bail money was paid, he said. | |
His case has now been adjourned until 31 August. | |
