 MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - A former suspect in failed British terror attacks that gained worldwide attention is free to return to Australia after a court on Friday dismissed the government's bid to cancel his visa.
The Federal Court's decision was a further victory for Dr. Mohamad Haneef, who spent 12 days in jail in July and was forced to leave Australia before authorities decided they had no evidence against him in a case that prompted accusations of political scaremongering.
A three-judge panel of the Australian Federal Court on Friday dismissed an appeal by the federal government against a judge's earlier decision to reinstate a work visa granted to Haneef last year.
