Surgeon: God’s will that I didn’t die with family

A neurosurgeon whose family died in a suspected arson attack said the evil deed was part of God’s plan and he was not supposed to be angry with him for allowing it to happen.

Muhammad Taufiq al Sattar, a neurosurgeon based in Ireland, also said he believes it was God’s will that he was not killed along with his wife and teenage children.

An 18-year-old, Kemo Anthony Porter, appeared in court yesterday charged with murdering the family — Shehnila Taufiq, 47, her daughter Zainab, 19, and sons Bilal, 17, and Jamil, 15 — who died in a fire in their home in Leicester, England, last Friday.
