London8217;s Central Criminal Court sentenced an Indian doctor to 18 months8217; jail on Friday for withholding information about planned car bomb attacks on central London and Scotland8217;s Glasgow airport.
Sabeel Ahmed, 26, will not serve his sentence because he has already spent 270 days in custody, pleaded guilty and signed a document stating that he will return to India voluntarily.
He is the younger brother of Kafeel Ahmed, an engineer, who drove a jeep into the Glasgow airport terminal building on June 30, 2007 and set it alight. Kafeel died later in hospital from 90 percent burns.
Thirty-six hours before the Glasgow airport blaze, two cars containing petrol, gas cylinders and mobile phone detonators were discovered in central London, one of them outside a packed nightclub.
Sabeel Ahmed was sent an e-mail with details of the attacks before his brother drove the jeep to Glasgow airport.
