| Oz terror suspect enjoys free rein |
| 2004-02-15 |
| A week after a Pakistani-born man was named publicly as a terror suspect he is still free, walking the streets of Sydney. And it is almost four months since anti-terror forces searched the man’s home in south-western Sydney, along with those of six others who were identified as key associates of terror suspect Willy Brigitte, who is in a French jail cell. But despite accusations that the man, named as Abu Hamza, was part of a group allegedly planning a terror attack in Sydney, police are powerless to put him behind bars. The Federal Government says it cannot detain him as he has not broken any law. Hamza has cut off his phone and moved house several times since he came to the attention of ASIO. His lawyer, Stephen Hopper, said Hamza denies being involved in any terrorist group. Mr Hopper said Hamza does admit to helping Brigitte settle in Sydney when he arrived here in May 2003, but said he did it as he is obliged to do so under the Muslim custom of helping a traveller. |
