(AAP) A former Qantas cabin cleaner jailed for producing a do-it-yourself terrorism manual will be subject to an interim control order when his 12-year sentence expires within days.
Belal Saadallah Khazaal, then 39, was in 2008 found guilty in the NSW Supreme Court of making a document connected with assistance in a terrorist act and knowing about that connection.
The 110-page book, compiled in September 2003 and titled Provisions of the Rules of Jihad, was described as a “practical guide to achieving martyrdom.” It was published online in Arabic.
The book included advice on techniques of assassination and listed countries of targets for assassination, including holders of public office in a number of countries, including Australia.
