New Delhi - Indian police have received new leads in the course of their investigation into the terror plot in Britain allegedly involving aeronautical engineer Kafeel Ahmed, who used to live in Bangalore, news reports said Wednesday. Police sources said an animated video of how syringes can be used to engineer bomb blasts, was found on a computer hard disk obtained from a house in Bangalore where Ahmed's parents live, the NDTV television network reported.
British investigators into the terror plot have been quoted in the media as saying the bombs allegedly planted by Ahmed and his associates failed because the syringes, which were part of the explosive device, failed to function properly.
Ahmed, 28, allegedly carried out the failed attack at Glasgow airport along with Iraqi doctor Bilal Abdullah. The two were also believed to have driven the two Mercedes "bomb cars" that were found and diffused in central London a day earlier.
While Ahmed is in a hospital in Glasgow with burn injuries over 90 per cent of his body, his brother Sabeel Ahmed, 27, is being detained by British police. Their cousin Mohammed Haneef is being questioned by the police in Brisbane, Australia.
Bangalore Police sent Ahmed's computer hard disk to experts at the Resource Centre for Cyber Forensics based in Thiruvananthapuram, capital of southern Kerala state, for the decoding of encrypted material.
