NSW police to help monitor Habib
 NSW would do what it could to help the Federal Government keep an eye on Mamdouh Habib, Premier Bob Carr said today. The former Guantanamo Bay inmate returned to Sydney yesterday, ending more than three years of detention in the US as a terrorist suspect. Although Mr Habib has not been charged with any offences, the Federal Government said it would continue to monitor his whereabouts and activities. Speaking on the campaign trail in Sydney with new federal Opposition Leader Kim Beazley, Mr Carr told reporters that NSW police would assist in any way they could. "It's a matter for police and their counter terrorism unit. We will cooperate with commonwealth police but it is not a matter that I will direct or give a public account of," he said. "The police have got responsibilities and they will fulfil them with a high level of cooperation from the commonwealth police." Posted by: God Save The World 2005-01-30 |
