'Jihad Jack' convictions quashed

AN appeal court has quashed the convictions of the first man jailed under Australia's new anti-terror laws.


Joseph Terrence Thomas, dubbed Jihad Jack, was arrested in Pakistan in January 2003 and convicted in Australia in February this year of receiving funds from al-Qaeda and holding a false passport.


He was sentenced to five years' jail with a minimum term of two years.


But today, Victorian Court of Appeal Justices Chris Maxwell, Frank Vincent and Peter Buchanan quashed the convictions, saying the evidence used to find Thomas guilty was inadmissable.


More to come...
