A MAN accused of being part of a Sydney terror cell kept a library of extremist material on his computer that included videos of beheadings and footage of the bombing of the Australian embassy in Jakarta.
Mirsad Mulahalilovic, 29, allegedly kept on his computer "hundreds" of images and documents justifying violent jihad and detailing acts of violence against Western interests in Iraq, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.
The extremist Islamic literature included material praising al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and speeches by Iraqi terrorist leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi.
Mr Mulahalilovic made a second unsuccessful application for bail yesterday in Sydney's Central Local Court after his arrest in Australia's biggest anti-terror sweep in November.
Mr Mulahalilovic and eight other Sydney men were charged with conspiring to manufacture bombs.
Ten men were also arrested in Melbourne, including the group's alleged spiritual leader, Abdul Nacer Benbrika.
Federal police alleged the Sydney nine were stock-piling chemicals for the manufacture of the explosive TATP.
Mr Mulahalilovic was the only one of the Sydney accused to make a bail application on the day after their arrest.
Police allegedly monitored him buying caps for PVC piping and found hydrochloric acid in his home.
At his second bail application yesterday, prosecutor Wendy Abraham QC tendered a more detailed police fact sheet which outlined for the first time his library of extremist literature.
She said weapons and chemicals allegedly procured by the members of the cell remained unaccounted for.
According to the fact sheet, Mr Mulahalilovic allegedly had a disc containing videos of the bombing of the Australian embassy in Jakarta.
Police also recovered an 80-page Arabic periodical dealing with jihad, which praised the London bombings and promised similar operations in the future.
Police said the computer held numerous MP3 files of songs calling on Muslims to undertake jihad.
Ms Abraham said there were "hundreds of audio and video files", including one song with the lyric, "I'm a terrorist, I yearn for victory".
The computer allegedly held footage of suicide bombings and the beheading of Westerners.
Police also seized three photographs of Mr Mulahalilovic, one of which depicted him holding a large knife to his throat.
Mr Mulahalilovic was born and raised in Gradacac, Bosnia, and came to Australia via Germany as a refugee. He is now a citizen.
Interpol records included in the fact sheet showed a minor criminal history, with a charge of bodily harm stemming from a fight at a bus stop in Hamburg in 1993. That charge was dropped.
In February 1995, Mr Mulahalilovic was allegedly found in possession of cannabis at a Hamburg train station. Again, proceedings were discontinued.
Mr Mulahalilovic's barrister, Phillip Boulten SC, told magistrate Allan Moore the prosecution case was a weak one. He said his client had been found in possession of hydrochloric acid, which was not unusual in his occupation as a contract painter.
"It's hardly surprising that the federal police would be able to uncover evidence that a painter was supplied hydrochloric acid and used it on jobs," he said.
The court heard Mr Mulahalilovic was married three years ago and his wife was now 8½ months pregnant.
Mr Boulten offered a $1million surety for his client's bail but Mr Moore refused.
This ditty will definitely be a nominee for "Best Song" at the Oscars next year.

We'd better get out the stopwatch to see how long it takes for the Clintonistas and the Soros-fluffers to get here and start wailing about how the Bosnian Muslims are secular, peaceful people.
It's amazing their own tongues don't leap from their mouths in an attempt to escape all of the lies.
I wonder if he was friends with David? I wonder if he had a Muslim terrorist name when he was with his Jihadist?
Isn't there a film or films around mussie communities of Bosnians featuring footage of the beheading of Serbs during the civil war over in Yugoslavia????
I read about this on FR and saw something else about that on British Sky news. Did any of you hear of this??
miss you travis ol' man.
And, just think.. we got those lousey Bosnian muslims here as well... WHAT A DISGUSTING thought!! Potential terrorists ALL!!
Yup, and we're still trying to round up the folks who tried to stop it.
You can thank Bill Clinton for all fo your soon the be new Bosnian Friends !!
PINGEROO
But I tell you, I would ship them all back to THE COUNTRY THEY WANTED SO BADLY THAT THEY KILLED THOUSANDS OF CHRISTIANS TO GET IT!!
Why are they anywhere but BOSNIA??
They started a war to get a country then they leave it to make trouble elsewhere.
THAT REEKS!!!STBBTB
Ship their bu++s back to Bosnia!! STBBTB!!!
PINGS!!!
There was a lot of video footage coming from Bosnia that was used as a Jihhadist training, recruitment and fundraising material.
The video footage of decapitation of Serb POW Rade Rogic is one you speak about.
WARNING: EXPLICIT MATERIAL OF ACTUAL MURDER
The more troublesome is one hour video about 7th Brigade AL Mujahedeen. In it, there is a sequence of Islamic terrorists running in white winter camo and singing USMC cadence.
This documentary also has a scenes of ritual slaughtering of Serbs.
Documetary was used as a fundraising tool in Islamic world. to buy weapons and diplomatic support for Bosnian Muslim government through Bosnia Defense Fund managed by Richard Perle and Douglas Feith.
I wonder if they enjoyed the film too.
