London: Indian doctor Sabeel Ahmed — who was sentenced to 18 months in jail for withholding information about his brother's plot to blow up Glasgow airport — will be deported from Britain on Wednesday, as he has already served the time while on trial.

Sabeel, 28, will be escorted by two Metropolitan Police officers to Bangalore.

Sabeel, who worked at the National Health Service, had admitted that he failed to inform the police about his brother — Kafeel Ahmed's — plans to carry out the suicide bombing last year.

Prosecutors say Kafeel sent an e-mail to his doctor brother before driving a jeep into the Glasgow airport.

“It’s about time that we give up our lives and families for the sake of Islam, to please Allah,” India-born Kafeel Ahmed wrote that in an e-mail to Sabeel two days before he rammed a jeep into Glasgow airport.

Twenty-year-old Sabeel pleaded guilty during a hearing at the Old Bailey in London, he was charged under the Terrorism Act of 2000 on June 30, 2007, the day of the attack.

Sabeel's brother Kafeel Ahmed died of burns at a Glasgow hospital couple of weeks after the foiled terror attack.
