<b>B'lore cops grill families of Dr Evils for terror links</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Sources in Bangalore police told CNN-IBN that both Sabeel and Kafeel were fundamentalists and used to organise radical meetings. "The families of the two suspects lived in Jordan and Afghanistan earlier. They made many calls to the Middle East," police sources claim.
Police also questioned the family of Mohammmed Haneef, for two hours on Friday in connection with last weekâs failed terror attacks in UK. Haneef and Sabeel went to the same medical college and stayed together in the UK.
The questioning was done by the Joint Commissioner of Police and Deputy Commissioner of Bangalore Police. Haneef is not so far directly linked to the case, but he is the only one in detention.
<b>Background of the brothers</b>
Police in Bangalore say Sabeel Ahmed and Kafeel Ahmed had joined the Tabligi Jamaat missionary sect.
Police are trying to ascertain whether the three were involved with any terror groups when they were in Bangalore or got into the act after going abroad.
What is a matter of concern to city police in Bangalore, say senior officials who did not want to be named, is the report that Kafeel and Sabeel had joined a missionary sect, Tabligi Jamaat, and had differences with the local mosque authorities on the way prayers and preaching were conducted there.
The two brothers stayed with their parents, both retired doctors, at Banashankari, a middle class locality in Bangalore.
Samiullah, secretary at the Jamia Hazrat Tipu Masjid at Banashankari, told reporters on Thursday evening, that the brothers "used to visit the mosque as children but after they joined the Tabligi Jammat, they became different".
Samiullah said: "As Indians we follow the Indian form of preaching and cannot accept any other form."

The Australian Police have expanded their investigations into last week's failed UK terror threats including the unexploded car bombs in London and an attack on the Glasgow airport.
<b>The police have questioned four doctors believed to be of Indian nationality and seized a number of computers and phones from hospitals.</b>
Two hospitals - one in Perth and the other in the mining town of Kalgoorlie were searched on Friday.
Authorities say computers, files and thousands of pages of documents have been seized and sent for forensic examination.

<b>Investigations in UK</b>
Investigators in the UK are also trying to decipher a conversation Kafeel had with his family before he left for the UK.
He had apparently told his mother and sister, <b>"I am involved in a large scale confidential project on global warming. The project has to be started in the UK. During the project work in the UK, I will not be available by any means- phone or Internet- for a week."</b> [Gore Connection or Commie connection ] <!--emo&

He reiterated this when he called up home from Iceland on June 30.
Kafeel had also claimed that the work on his project would begin in the UK.
He also told his family that an earlier presentation had failed and asked them to pray for him.
Investigators are trying to decipher the meaning of these words. The suspect by 'confidential project', may have been referring to the terror plot. And 'failed presentation' could be interpreted to mean a foiled attack, say sources.
On Friday, Kafeel was transferred from Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley to a special burns unit at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He is under 'armed guard' and his condition is still critical. So one may not really know what Kaffeel was up to with doctors saying his is unlikely to survive the burn injuries

He tried to self immolate, I thought this is against Islam, now he will go to Jhanum "hell" according to Islam.
