Haneef terrorism charges dropped

Jul. 27 - Australian authorities have dropped terrorism charges against an Indian doctor over a failed car bomb plot in Britain.

Dr. Mohamed Haneef had been charged with giving "reckless support" to terrorism by providing a relative in Britain with his mobile phone SIM card. The Australian authorities said there was insufficient evidence to bring a prosecution after mounting criticism of the police handling of the case. The 27-year-old will be given home detention while he awaits a final decision on his immigration status.
