Al-Qaeda, and especially JI, had identified Australia as an enemy. But despite the Australian embassy in Singapore being identified as an al-Qaeda target, Osama bin Laden's statement that Australia has waged a "crusade" against the Islamic world and dismembered East Timor, credible intelligence that a number of Afghanistan-trained Australians were dispatched on missions to strike inside Australia, and Australia's high profile participation...
...chilling account of the meeting in Thailand was given by one of those present, Mohammed Mansur (Sammy) Jabarah, a 20-year-old Kuwaiti-born Canadian citizen, who was arrested in Oman in April and is now being interrogated at an undisclosed location in the U.S. According to sources familiar with an FBI report of Jabarah's interrogation, details of his testimony?including the dramatic order by Hambali to target bars and nightclubs?were passed on by U.S. officials to all Southeast Asian governments in August, a full two months before the Bali attack...
