Researching Muhammad Khan

Khan's arrest was attributed to leads arising from the arrest of Musaad Aruchi a month earlier. Following his arrest, Khan agreed to cooperate with investigators, and continued to communicate with Al-Qaeda as part of a sting operation.

Following the publication of Khan's name, British authorities moved quickly to arrest 13 members of the British terrorist cell with which Khan had been communicating (the so-called Luton cell). Evidence gathering may not have yet been completed and other plotters may have escaped due to the need to make the arrests quickly.

On 14 July 2005, ABC News revealed that Mohammad Sidique Khan, one of the suspected perpetrators of the 7 July London bombings, had been in contact with members of the Luton cell that was broken up.

He left the Hague in 1961 to become the Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, a position he served until 1964.

During his time at the UN, he also represented the State of Palestine in a de facto capacity.
