Shooting victim Ibrahim 'faces amputation'


Sydney nightclub identity Fadi Ibrahim may have his arm amputated due to severe gunshot wounds as speculation mounts that a methamphetamine "cook" with bikie links was responsible for his shooting.

The Daily Telegraph reports Ibrahim also faces a lifetime of problems with his digestive system after he had part of his intestines removed during surgery on Sunday.

The younger brother of nightclub king John Ibrahim has remained in an induced coma while a steady stream of visitors — reportedly including Adam and David Freeman, the sons of late racing identity George — have made visits to Royal North Shore Hospital.

It is expected Ibrahim will be brought out of his coma this weekend, at which stage police are likely to intensify their investigation into who shot him.

The Sydney Morning Herald claims a former bikie and methamphetamine manufacturer is a primary focus of the enquiry and has also been the most discussed suspect amongst underworld figures.

The drug cook is also a suspect in an apparent attack on fellow Kings Cross figure Alan Sarkis, who reportedly dined with Ibrahim at the swanky harbourside Catalina restaurant on the night of the shooting.

A vehicle parked outside the apartment where Sarkis was sleeping in July last year was damaged by a pipe bomb and fired upon with an automatic weapon.

Both attacks are believed to be linked to large monetary loans.
