THE STATE I'M IN

Benbrika terror cell members were 'part-timers'

July 28, 2008
THE Crown case against an alleged home-grown Muslim terror cell had shrunk during a five-month trial to a claim that its members only did "a little bit of terrorism on the side" and planned violent jihad "way off in the future", according to a defence barrister.

Lawyer Julian McMahon said the Crown was now accepting that the 12 accused members of the group at the centre of Australia's largest terrorism trial had "considerable interests" outside the organisation and was essentially claiming they were only part-time terrorists.
