Australia cancels LeT alumnis' passports
Australian authorities have cancelled the passports of three Sydney men, who allegedly trained with a radical Islamic group linked to al Qaeda. A report in The Australian newspaper says the three trained in Kashmir with a group called Lashkar-e-Taiba, which it claims is also linked to a French terrorist suspect who was deported from Australia last year. Police have been unable to arrest the three because their alleged training took place before the government adopted new counter-terrorism laws. Instead, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, acting on recommendations by the main spy agency ASIO, has cancelled their passports to prevent the trio from linking up with associates abroad.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-08-27 |
