Doc terror rant at NHS hospital


POLICE were called in to probe an al-Qaeda outburst by a doctor during a Muslim prayer meeting at an NHS hospital.

Psychiatrist Eltigani Adam Hammad, 60, crowed about British and US deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But he is still in his £70,000-a-year job with Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber Mental Health NHS Trust.

Details of his tirade emerged after the arrests of two Muslim doctors over alleged plots to blow up Glasgow Airport and a nightclub in London’s Haymarket.

Iraqi doctor Bilal Abdullah Jordanian and hospital specialist Mohammed Jamil Asha have been charged with conspiring to cause explosions.

Dr Hammad burst into his rant before prayers at Rotherham General Hospital.

A fellow Muslim doctor protested to health officials – who called in the police.

A source said: “He boasted that the US had failed in Iraq and were going to leave.

“He said nationalist Muslims would come to power and all the Iraqis who betrayed the Iraqi people and cooperated with the Americans would pay the price.

“Hammad said he supported al-Qaeda because they were fighting for Islam and didn’t mind if Iraqi civilians were killed.”

Hammad – who qualified in Sudan – agreed to stop giving further addresses before Friday prayers at the hospital.

Police and hospital authorities decided he should NOT be prosecuted or disciplined.
