A 21-year-old man from Kuraby has been charged with terrorism-related offences as part of an investigation conducted by the Queensland Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT).
Members of the JCTT – comprising the Australian Federal Police (AFP), QLD Police Force (QPS) and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation – arrested the man at his home this morning (30 June 2018).
It will be alleged in court that during a period of late 2016 and early 2017, the man made preparations to travel to Syria to engage in hostile activities. It will also be alleged he encouraged and recruited other people to join him in travelling to Syria; so they could also join organisations engaged in hostile activities against foreign governments.
The Kuraby man and those he was encouraging were not successful in leaving Australia.
The man has been remanded in custody and is due to appear
