London (UK):
A man who was shot during an anti-terror raid was yesterday transferred into police custody although he was still too ill to be questioned. Abdul Kahar, 23, was moved under high security from a London hospital to the city's Paddington Green police station. He was shot during the police operation at his east London home on Friday.
His solicitor, Kate Roxburgh, said last night: "It has all been about the doctor assessing whether my client is fit to be interviewed at the moment. The man's lawyers maintain he was shot in the shoulder by police officers during the raid but Whitehall sources have been reported as claiming he was shot by his 20-year-old younger brother, Abul Koyair, who has also been arrested. Official police statements on the incident have said a man received gunshot wounds but not who fired the shot and no-one has attempted to clarify who fired the gun. Lawyers for Abul Koyair say he did not shoot his brother and both men deny any involvement in terrorism.
