Terror suspects: a closer look three of the terrorists now in custody

Mohammed Asha: Surgeon 'who turned radical'

Um Abed, the mother of Marwah, 27, said: "We are stunned. Mohammed and Marwah are not the type to be interested in political Islam."

They said the plight of Asha's people in the West Bank would not have turned him to terror.

But one friend of Asha, 26, claimed last night that the doctor came under the spell of radical Islamists after moving to Britain.

The friend, who asked not to be named, said: "I saw him in the summer of 2006 on a visit to Jordan.

"He seemed really influenced by Islamist ideologies in Britain, even physically he looked different with a long beard, looking like an Islamist extremist." A 'Mohammed Asha' has also been recorded writing on the Internet in vitriolic terms about Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

Mohammed Haneef:

He had a one-way ticket to India and had not booked any time off with his hospital superiors.

Haneef was arrested after police traced calls between his phone and that of at least one of the other bomb plot suspects. The pair are said to have had lengthy conversations.

But staff were surprised when he suddenly announced he was rushing off to India to be with his wife Firdous Arshiya and their baby.

"He said he was going home for seven to 10 days," said one doctor.

"But he was rostered to be working this week and he had not booked any holidays between June 4 and August 10. He didn't mention anything to me about the leave so maybe it was a quick decision to go to India."

Bilal Abdulla : Mystery man 'who hated the West's crusade'

To his hospital colleagues, Bilal Abdulla was a mystery man who seemed to lack interest in being a doctor.

His devotion to Islam always came first and he would disappear for long periods during the working day to pray or to log on to Arabic websites.

He told fellow staff nothing of his previous life in Iraq, claiming instead that he was Jordanian.

But yesterday suspicions were growing that he had direct links to Al Qaeda and had formed a terror cell inside the NHS.

Shiraz Maher, who knows the doctor well, told Sky News: "He was very angry about the West, particularly Britain and America and the invasion of Iraq.

"He saw it as the classic idea of a crusader war engineered by the West to impose Western views on an Islamic country.'

It was claimed yesterday that Abdulla was recruited by Al Qaeda in Iraq and ordered to travel to Britain.

Abdulla, who studied medicine in Baghdad, came from a family of Wahabist Muslims, an ultraconservative form of Islam that promotes Sharia law.
