Raid brothers had £38,000 cash stashed in a bedroom

Anti-terror police discovered £38,000 in cash at the home of two brothers arrested over a suspected chemical bomb plot.

Officers came across the money in a bedroom after Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, and Abul Koyair, 20, were held during a raid at the family's terraced house.
It is not known how Kahar, a postal worker, and Koyair, a shelf-stacker at Tesco, came to have such a large amount of money - much of it in £50 notes - at the property.
Last night security sources confirmed that £38,000 had been found at the house in Forest Gate, East London.
But they believe there was not a sinister reason for so much cash being hidden there.
Muslims frown upon the payment of interest - making it difficult for them to use banks and building societies.
A security source told the Mail: "It is true that we recovered nearly £40,000 in cash, but we believe there are cultural reasons why the money was being stored in the property."
Kahar and Koyair were quizzed for a week at high-security Paddington Green police station in London after being arrested.
They were targeted after an MI5 informant said he had seen a poison device which was understood to have been stored at their home.
But after spending a week in custody, they were were released without charge - prompting questions about why the raid was carried out in the first place.
Police said they had 'no choice' but to arrest the men and search their home after receiving 'specific and credible' intelligence about a terror plot involving a poison bomb.
But no weapon was ever found - despite police carrying out a fingertip search of the property.
Kahar was shot in the chest as armed officers stormed the house. This week he accused the police of 'brutality'.
The brothers claim they were kicked and verbally abused when they were detained by anti-terror officers.
Asked at a press conference on Tuesday why he had been targeted by police, Kahar said: "The only crime I have done in their eyes is being Asian and having a full-length beard."
As well as fearing a potentially-deadly chemical weapon was being stored in the property, firearms officers were deployed because the address has previously been linked with guns.
Kahar and Koyair's elder brother, Mohammed Abdullah Hasneth, was arrested for three armed robberies in 2002 and later jailed for six years.
Legal experts say the brothers could receive a six-figure compensation sum after being apparently libelled by officers.
Neither the brothers nor their lawyers are thought to have revealed during questioning why they had such vast sums of money stored in the house.
This week Chancellor Gordon Brown acknowledged that devout Muslims often found it difficult to access traditional financial services in Britain.
Many Muslims refuse to open accounts with banks and building societies because the payment of interest on money in accounts is considered usury - and against their religion.
Mr Brown pledged to make it easier for them to save their money by making London a centre for Islamic banking.
