An Australian judge has ruled that police should have another 48 hours to question an Indian doctor held over failed car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow as police widened their investigation to India.
The judge in Brisbane approved the extension of a detention warrant allowing Australian authorities to hold Queensland hospital doctor Mohamed Haneef until 6pm Irish-time Wednesday.
'The extension will allow for the analysis of material obtained in the course of the investigation by joint counter-terrorism teams', an Australian Federal Police (AFP) said.
Haneef, 27, is one of six Indian doctors to be questioned in Australia over the suspected al Qaeda-linked plot in Britain.
The others have already been released.
