An earlier story reported that Kafeel Ahmed is believed to have constructed the bombs for the Doctors' Jihad Plot.
"UK terror suspect worked in aviation," by Muneeza Naqvi for the Associated Press:
BANGALORE, India - Officials confirmed Tuesday that an Indian suspect in the failed car bombings in Britain had worked as an aeronautical engineer at a company contracted by the biggest names in aviation.
Kafeel Ahmed, 27, is in a Scottish hospital with burns suffered after allegedly crashing a Jeep Cherokee into the Glasgow airport a day after police found two unexploded car bombs in central London.
Ahmed worked in Bangalore as an aeronautical engineer for Infotech Enterprises, a large outsourcing firm, from December 2005 to August 2006, said the company spokesman K.S. Susindar.
Infotech works with some of the biggest companies in aviation, including Boeing and Airbus, among others — possibly giving Ahmed access to sensitive design information from the companies.
Susindar declined to comment on whether Ahmed had access to design secrets or what projects he worked on.
Decent Fellow Alert:
"He was a sincere employee and from what I can gather he gave no problems whatsoever," said Susindar.
The services Infotech offered its clients was not immediately clear, but most of the aviation work outsourced to Indian companies includes software support for cabin lighting, display of information in the cockpit, in-flight entertainment and communication.
In some cases, it could involve designing software for flight control systems, navigation and surveillance.
A spokeswoman for Boeing declined to comment. Calls to aircraft engine makers Pratt & Whitney were not immediately returned, nor were calls to Airbus.
Sabeel Ahmed, 26, Kafeel's brother, is being held in Liverpool as a suspect in the terror plot. Sabeel, who worked as a doctor, and Kafeel are among eight people held in the case.
A third Indian, Mohammad Haneef, is being held in Australia for questioning.

Britain is lucky that these pikers did not pay attention in their terror 101 class. You know, they do this so much better in "the old country" where plastic explosives are everywhere...no cumbersome propane jugs to tote about.
The bombs blew too soon!! Oh no!
It must have been embarassing for these macho muslim men to have a case of premature jihadization.

But the war on terror is just a bumper sticker quote...not to be confused with real campaign visions like "Tomorrah Begins Taday" (isn't that physically impossible?) a real insight from 2 Americas, the 24,000 sq ft one being home to that hedge fund creep Edwards.
While I'm on the theme of male issues, Edwards has been diagnosed with ED--Electile Disfunction. He cannot get an election, thank allah for that.

Indian out-sourcing companies must take steps to remove Moslems from their organisations, or they will lose contracts from the West. Given that 10% of India's population is Moslem, there must be many Jihadis and potential Jihadis employed by these companies.
India must get over its Ghandia allusions, their equivalent of our Western political correctness, and act to preserve their historic values.
How many of our Western banks, financial institutions, credit card companies, etc. have outsourced some of their services to India?
What information do these people have about you? Are you happy that some Jihadis in far-away India know that you have purchased some anti-Jihad books on your credit card, or have donated funds to JW/DW or similar organisations?
India better clean up quickly, or face losing their service industries.

Dear Susindar Jackass, he came on time and left is all that you consider. And so you say that he gave no problems. We have a country full of jackasses like you who cannot see a problem with muslims. Perhaps you would like to check this out.
