Prime Minister John Howard says a magistrate has given police an extra 48 hours to question Gold Coast doctor Mohammed Haneef over possible links to the failed UK terrorist attacks.
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty says a second doctor being interviewed by police has been released.
The second man was taken in for questioning after a police anti-terrorist unit arrested 27-year-old Indian national Dr Haneef at Brisbane Airport late on Monday night.
"We don't yet know whether the connection between this man [Dr Haneef] and those arrested in Britain is malign," Mr Howard told Channel Seven.
This morning Commissioner Keelty told Channel Nine that the second doctor should now be allowed to go about his business.
Meanwhile a senior officer from London's Metropolitan Police is travelling to Australia to help in the interrogation of Dr Haneef.
Dr Haneef worked in the same British hospitals as some of those arrested over the attempted car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow.
He also trained at the same university in India as the 26-year-old doctor arrested in Liverpool, England over the weekend.

Police worker admits leaking terror report
PA
Published: 18 June 2007
A civilian police employee today admitted misconduct in a public office by leaking an intelligence report on terrorism to a newspaper.
Thomas Lund-Lack, 59, was working in Scotland Yard’s Special Operations section in the Counter Terrorism Command when he disclosed documents to a journalist.
Today he admitted misconduct in public office when he appeared at the Old Bailey. The leaked report formed the basis for a Sunday Times article published on April 22.
It warned that al Qaida leaders in Iraq, backed by supporters in Iran, were planning large-scale attacks on Britain and the West, according to the paper.
One operative was said to have warned that he was planning an attack “ on a par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki” in an attempt to “shake the Roman throne”, a reference to the West.
Another feared plot could be timed to coincide with the stepping down of Prime Minister Tony Blair, or what al Qaida planners called a “change in the head of the company”, according to the newspaper.
The intelligence report was produced in April and made clear that senior figures from the terror network had been in recent contact with operatives in Britain, the Sunday Times said.

The involvement of at least six doctors and medical students in the London and Glasgow bomb plots has come as a double shock to most Muslims. Not only does it besmirch their religion by associating it with terrorism, but it also insults the pride that Muslims take in the achievements of their golden age, especially in the fields of medicine, surgery and pharmacology. Medicine owes more to Islam than to any other religion or philosophy. It was the great Muslim physicians of Spain and the Middle East who laid the foundations for todays science; it was the writings and medical observations of scholars such as Ibn Rushd (Averroes, as he was known in Europe) and Ibn Sina (Avicenna) that led directly to the medical advances of the past nine centuries.
that paragraph is nothing but a load of garbage.
WHAT ARAB CIVILIZATION?
http://www.ninevehsoft.com/fiorina.htm
"The overwhelming majority of these doctors (99%) were Assyrians. In the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries Assyrians began a systematic translation of the Greek body of knowledge into Assyrian. At first they concentrated on the religious works but then quickly moved to science, philosophy and medicine. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Galen, and many others were translated into Assyrian, and from Assyrian into Arabic. It is these Arabic translations which the Moors brought with them into Spain, and which the Spaniards translated into Latin and spread throughout Europe, thus igniting the European Renaissance.
By the sixth century A.D., Assyrians had begun exporting back to Byzantia their own works on science, philosophy and medicine. In the field of medicine, the Bakhteesho Assyrian family produced nine generations of physicians, and founded the great medical school at Gundeshapur (Iran). Also in the area of medicine, (the Assyrian) Hunayn ibn-Ishaq's textbook on ophthalmology, written in 950 A.D., remained the authoritative source on the subject until 1800 A.D...."
arabs, like their 'prophet' are nothing but professional THIEVES.
I guess that they are delusional in more ways than one.
thanks for the ping...the aussies are getting a wake-up call! The Gold Coast Hospital’s telephone lines were swamped with calls from outraged citizens yesterday.

Gordon Brown refused to discuss the details of his proposals with Andrew Marr
Brown gives up the power to declare war
Gordon Brown will this week propose surrendering historic powers delegated to previous prime ministers by the monarch as part of a wide-ranging programme of constitutional reform.
The reforms are expected to involve Mr Brown giving up royal prerogatives traditionally exercised by the prime minister, such as the power to declare war without parliamentary approval or to appoint bishops to the Church of England.
You're most welcome! Great to see you Fred.
Well, the Aussies are more awake than the Americans are. Most still have their heads in the sand and are clueless to what is coming!
Hey Fred, good to see you!
Its my understanding that in Australia, they can keep reapplying to a magistrate for more time to detain a suspect under terrorism laws.
Is there a limit to this?
I suppose if/when they reach any limit they could throw him to the Brits... “quick extradition”
LOL, I feel SO uncomfortable looking into his eyes as he sings to me.
Something... err, I’ll get back to this....
He has been in power for a few days and hes already handing out the family silver.
Not impressed... its bad enough their once great Navy may be reduced little more than a coastal defense force.
there are now so many threads, I cannot immediately supply a link, but extradition has already been suggested...there shouldn’t be any difficulty, our suspect isn’t a citizen.
btw, number two has been questioned and released.
Thanks Fred, I’m still catching up again here... I read about the extradition plans, but didn’t know about the release of his associate.
I remember where I've seen that face before...
Its so great to hear he didn't lose his touch and go "Cat Stevens" on us.

“”We have had obviously significant time with Dr Haneef, we have been using the new detention powers under the legislation that was passed in the parliament in 2004,’’ Mr Keelty told ABC radio.
“We are hopeful that we’ll be able to clarify his situation in the course of the next 48 hours or so.’’
Mr Keelty said under the new legislation police would be able to detain Dr Haneef longer if required.
“If we wanted to detain him any longer we would have to go back to the court and we would have to make application to detain him,’’ he said...”
Lol, good one!
Ewwwww....
