Pakistan: Jailed Briton Wants To Prove His Innocence
25-yr old Zeeshan Siddiqui, of Hounslow, west London, is currently an inmate of Peshawar Central Jail in Pakistan. Six months after his arrest, charged with document forgery and immigration offences relating to his overstay of a Pakistan entry visa, he remains in custody.
However, after the 7/7 bombings, it was claimed by investigators that Siddiqui had met Shehzad Tanweer, one of the suicide bombers, in Pakistan, and also senior al-Qaeda chiefs and other terrorists. He is also, according to anonymous intelligence sources, said to have been "best friends" with Asif Hanif, the UK Muslim who (with another, less successful, UK co-conspirator who drowned himself) went to Israel, and managed to blow up himself and four other people. Siddiqui admits to knowing Asif Hanif, as they attended school together, but claims they were never "best friends".
Siddiqui is also said to be an associate of Junaid Babar. He has admitted that he met Junaid Babar on two occasions, but the meeetings were fleeting. Babar is believed to have been an importer and exporter of explosives for terrorist purposes, detailed below in an earlier Western Resistance article.
Siddiqui has been interrogated three times by Pakistani and British intelligence officers while incarcerated, but so far has not been charged with any terrorist offences. He describes the accusations as "false, baseless and misleading".
In a letter written to the Telegraph, published today, Siddiqui asks for a chance to be allowed to defend himself, back in Britain. He was granted bail on September 15, but as he had no travel documents, which Siddiqui claims to have lost, he remains in jail in Peshawar. His lawyer, Miss Mussarat Hilali, has challenged the Pakistani and British authorities to resolve Siddiqui's case.
