Al-Qaeda 'linked' to terror plot

November 11, 2005

ASIO has allegedly found material compiled by al-Qaeda on the computer hard drives of nine men charged in Melbourne with terrorism related offences.

On one of the hard drives, ASIO allegedly found a call to arms document compiled by an al-Qaeda linked group in Saudi Arabia which describes the 2002 Bali bombings as a "smart" act, The Australian newspaper reported today.

Some of the hard drives also contained information about the banned organisation Lashkar-e-Toiba as well as news articles about ASIO counter-terrorism activities, the newspaper reported.
