From Times Wire Reports
Nine men who allegedly stockpiled bomb-making chemicals and vowed to avenge perceived injustices against Muslims were ordered to stand trial in Australia’s largest suspected terrorist conspiracy, court officials said.
Each is charged with conspiring between June 2004 and November 2005 to carry out a terrorist act. Lawyers have said the men deny the accusations.
Prosecutors say the suspects were devotees of a cleric sympathetic to Osama bin Laden.
