Indian doctor Mohammad Haneef has struck a deal with the Australian government for receiving a substantial compensation for his wrongful detention. Haneef, who was detained after being wrongly accused of having links to the failed Glasglow bombing attempt in 2007, returned to Australia last week to settle his compensation claim. The 31-year-old doctor said the settlement would help him re-establish his career and reputation and stated that he would consider returning to the country. Haneef and his lawyers completed two days of talks with the government in Brisbane on Tuesday, and this will see legal action against former immigration minister Kevin Andrews dropped. The compensation claim had also sought damages for lost earnings, the interruption to his medical career, damage to his reputation and emotional stress. The claim has been described as unique in Australian legal history by his lawyers.Haneef, who now practises in the UAE, would finish a 10-day holiday in Australia before returning back. Haneef is a cousin of Kafeel Ahmed and Sabeel Ahmed, the two operatives who launched the failed attack on the Glasgow International Airport in the UK in 2007.
