Police also hope to find records of e-mail communications and details of Internet interactions involving the computer used by Kafeel.

Meanwhile, the police have collected religious CDs from the family home. “It is still too early to talk about the contents of the hard disk and the CDs. They have to be studied carefully,” a senior police officer said.

The police are also looking at financial details, records of purchase and sales of vehicles, passports and licences of the family. The police believe that Kafeel may have had more than one passport under different names. They are also looking for people who participated in the 2006 Chechnya meeting.

He knew jet bomb plotter: UK report

LONDON: Kafeel Ahmed knew one of Al Qaeda’s most high-profile bomb makers in Europe who was caught plotting to blow up passenger jets four years ago, according to The Observer. The report says Ahmed met convicted terrorist Abbas Boutrab in Belfast while studying for a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering at Queen’s University between 2001 and 2004. Boutrab was arrested in Belfast in 2003 and convicted two years later for downloading information on how to blow up an airliner.
