\nA 27-year-old Brisbane man is scheduled to appear before Brisbane\u2019s Richlands Magistrates Court today, charged with attempting to provide support to a terrorist organisation.
\nThe man was arrested as a result of investigations by the Queensland Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) into Australians suspected of being members of a terrorist organisation in Syria and Iraq, as well as people in Australia suspected of providing assistance to terrorist organisations.
\nOn Tuesday (21 May 2019), members of the Queensland JCTT \u2013 which comprises members of the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the Queensland Police Service and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation \u2013 attended an address in Algester.
\nA 27-year-old was subsequently arrested and charged with attempting to provide support to a terrorist organisation, contrary to sections 11.1(1) and 102.7(1) of the\u00a0Criminal Code 1995<\/em>\u00a0(Cth). \u00a0The maximum penalty for this offence is 25 years imprisonment.
\nIt will be alleged in court that the Algester man provided video-editing software to a relative who had travelled to the conflict zone and was working for the \u2018media unit\u2019 of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist organisation.
\nAFP Assistant Commissioner Ian McCartney, National Manager Counter Terrorism, said this arrest highlights the strong working relationships between Australia\u2019s law enforcement agencies.
\n\u201cThe AFP is committed to working with national security and law enforcement partners to identify all criminality associated with Australians who illegally travelled to participate in the conflict in Syria and Iraq,\u201d AC McCartney said.
\n\u201cWe will allege that the support this man provided was tangible and would directly assist a terrorist organisation with its objectives.\u201d
\nAssistant Commissioner Peter Fleming, Security and Counter Terrorism Command said \u201cviolent extremists from across the ideological spectrum exploit the online environment to spread propaganda and recruit individuals. The aim of extremists is to divide us and to turn our citizens against each other – but we will not let them win.\u201d
\nThere is no threat to the community in Queensland as a result of this investigation.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
