Al-Qaeda info recovered from Aussie suspects' computers
2005-11-11
Some of the suspects arrested in a Melbourne anti-terror sweep this week had links to al-Qaida.

Members of the alleged terror cell smashed by Australian security forces had downloaded an al-Qaida document from the Internet that celebrated the Bali bombings and called on Muslims to commit "heroic act of jihad" against the West, The Australian newspaper said Thursday.

Computer hard drives seized by the Australian Security and Intelligence Organization also contained information about the banned organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, as well as news articles about ASIO's counter-terrorism activities, the paper said.

On one computer hard drive, ASIO allegedly found a document compiled by an al-Qaida-linked group in Saudi Arabia about the 2002 Bali bombings.

"Mujaheddin are smart and they know exactly what they are doing," it said. "They knew exactly what they were doing when they attacked the Australians in Bali. They knew that the Australians were against the war (on Iraq) and the blame would fall on the Australian Prime Minister."

The 2004 document was compiled by an al-Qaida-linked group called the Militant Committee of the Mujaheddin in the Arabian peninsula, The Australian said.
