Man on terrorist charges faces trial
2007-10-14
THE trial of a man accused of training with a terrorist organisation begins in the NSW Supreme Court tomorrow.

Pakistan-born Izhar ul-Haque, 24, of Glenwood, was arrested in March 2004 after it was alleged he went to Pakistan in 2003 and received weapons and combat training during a three-week visit to a camp run by terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is on the Federal Government's list of terrorist organisations. He was the first Australian charged with training with a terrorist group. During his committal hearing, the University of NSW medical student gave evidence that he only intended to work as a medic in a camp.

#2  Why is it that the West cannot bring itself to place a travel ban on Pakistan?

The left opposes it because it would be effective and they need a quagmire. the right opposes it ecause if they call for it the left will point out that our 'ally' was ill chosen and that it is yet another failure and we are doomed to further quagmire-ness.

Why is it that the West cannot bring itself to place a travel ban on Pakistan? Combine that with harsher penalties for passport fraud related to visiting known terrorist nations and it might put a serious dent in this crap. It's not like Pakistan has any exports that are vital to the West.
