In breaking news, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions has dropped the terror charge against Indian doctor Mohamed Haneef.

DPP Damian Bugg QC said the charge was dropped because there was no reasonable prospect of him being convicted on the evidence.

Comment: This was obviously a major stuff-up by the authorities, who appear with hindsight to have been over anxious to make an arrest. More later.
