US President on Australian's hit list
" FORMER Qantas baggage handler charged yesterday with terrorism offences allegedly paid for the trip to Lebanon of an Australian associate caught travelling on a false passport and accused of plotting terrorist acts abroad.

Bilal Khazal, named by the CIA as an al-Qaeda operative, was also accused of compiling an assassination hit list of world leaders from US President George W. Bush down, and urging Muslims to kill people he labelled infidels in Western countries, including Australia.

Khazal, 34, a well-known firebrand Muslim, was arrested yesterday morning at his Sydney home by Australian Federal Police agents and charged with collecting and making documents likely to facilitate terrorist attacks - an offence carrying a maximum 15-year jail
term."

Khazal, who was a Qantas baggage handler for 12 years, came to the attention of the CIA around the time of the Olympics. He was last year sentenced in absentia in Lebanon to 10 years in prison for raising funds for a local terror group. "
