A HOSPITAL registrar arrested in Brisbane in connection with the attempted UK terror bombings has been named as Dr Mohammed Haneef, with a second foreign doctor from the same hospital also being quizzed.
The arrest of the doctor, as he tried to leave the country on a one-way ticket, has raised serious concerns about vetting procedures for the Federal Government's temporary skilled visa program, under which he was working.
The ABC and The Courier-Mail have named the man as Mohammed Haneef, citing Queensland government records which show he was registered with the state health department as a temporary worker.
