| Two Australian nationals believed to have links to the al Qaeda network have been charged with terror-related activities in Lebanon. It’s not yet known when they’ll go to trial. Lebanon’s military prosecutor said a Jordanian Australian identified only as Saleh J and a Lebanese Australian named Haitham M, were accused of belonging to terrorist organisations, possessing weapons and plotting terrorist activities. They were charged together with a Lebanese citizen, a Palestinian and a man whose nationality was unclear. No further details were given. Last December, two Australian brothers were sentenced in absentia by a Beirut court to 10 years for terror-related offenses. They were among 27 others convicted on similar charges. |
