Haneef terrorism charges dropped
An Indian doctor has been freed from custody in Australia after charges linked to the failed bomb attacks in the UK were dropped.
Dr Mohamed Haneef was released into home detention while he awaits a decision on his immigration status.
The 27-year-old had his visa revoked after he was charged with giving "reckless support" to terrorism.
The charge was withdrawn on Friday after Australia's chief prosecutor admitted "a mistake has been made".
The case - which also threw new anti-terror laws under the spotlight - triggered concern from both legal and civil rights groups.
