| Australian court hears terrorism claims |
| 2008-08-13 |
| An Australian court has heard a man on trial for terrorism offences put information about shooting down planes, training assassins and making bombs on the internet. Jamelle Wells reports the Crown prosecutor told a Supreme Court jury, while there's nothing wrong with political opinion, one must draw the line when it comes to advocating terrorist acts. He said Sydney man Belal Khazaal compiled religious and historical writings into a book on terrorism which he published on the internet in 2003. The prosecutor said the book espoused violence against non-believers in the Muslim faith and the benefits of assassination. The court heard the billing address for the website was a residence at Lakemba in Sydney's South-West. Belal Khazaal has pleaded not guilty to producing a document connected with terrorism and to urging others to committing a terrorist act. |
