The brief allegedly contained no evidence linking Dr Haneef to the London terror attacks or any criminal activities. However, Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty has refused to publicly release the contents of the dossier on the grounds they would be prejudicial to Sabeel Ahmed’s coming trial in Britain.

ASIO told the inquiry that it provided its assessment on Dr Haneef in writing to then attorney-general Philip Ruddock. However, it is understood the assessment was not passed on to then immigration minister Kevin Andrews, who was heavily criticised after he cancelled Dr Haneef’s visa on the strength of information supplied to him by the Australian Federal Police.
