Terror suspects denied bail because of "al-Qaida emails"
Military and Security    8/14/2009 2:22:00 PM
 
LONDON, Aug 14 (KUNA) -- A group of Pakistani men arrested in a major anti-terrorist operation were denied bail because of a series of emails which could implicate them in an al Qaida bomb plot, a judge revealed here Friday.
The five were among 12 men held by police in raids across the north west of England last April as part of Operation Pathway, but never charged with any criminal offences.
Along with two other Pakistani men who did not apply for bail, they are challenging attempts by the UK Government to deport them on the grounds that they pose a threat to national security.
At a hearing of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) at the end of last month the men were denied bail.
Giving the reasons for the decision for the first time today, the judge said a series of emails exchanged between an address attributed to one of the men and another attributed to an al Qaida associate were "central to the open case against the appellants".
The emails from the man, identified only as XC, to "Sohaib" appear to refer to a wedding.
In a written statement, the judge said "They appear to refer to XC's interest in named girls and to a wedding after 15th and before 20th April 2009".
"The assessment of the security service is that references to named girls could be to ingredients from which an explosive device could be made and that the reference to a wedding is 'most likely' reference to an intended attack", he added.
Lawyer Richard Hermer,acting for XC, told last month's hearing the security service's account of the emails was far-fetched and the emails were no more than innocent social discussions.
The judge said the final interpretation of the emails would have to wait until a full SIAC hearing takes place next year. (end) he.tg KUNA 141422 Aug 09NNNN
