Hardline approach

by Andrew Buncombe from The Independent

Two Indian brothers, Sabeel and Kaleef Ahmed, are at the centre of police investigations into the NHS terror plot tried to persuade their local Indian mosque to adopt a more "hard line" form of Islam, it emerged last night. Samiullah, who has just one name, said the brothers sought to introduce religious ideas from Saudi Arabia. Eventually, he said, the locals threatened to break the "arms and legs" of the brothers, and told them to stay away from the mosque. Their father continued to attend. The details about the brothers' actions as young adults emerged against a backdrop of disbelief and anguish that has rocked the country's booming technology capital, as the nation confronts the possibility that, for the first time, Indian Muslims may have been involved in an international terror plot.
