Portside on terror alert (Australia)
February 24, 2008

AUSTRALIAN Federal Police are investigating an Indian man who arrived in Brisbane two days ago with alleged terrorist links. The man arrived on a ship at the Port of Brisbane early Friday. Sources told The Sunday Mail that Customs officers alerted the AFP after speaking to crew members of the ship.

"The word terrorist or terrorism was used," an informant said yesterday. A federal police spokeswoman confirmed the investigation. "We are currently undertaking preliminary inquiries at the Port of Brisbane in response to allegations that have been raised with the AFP," she said. The spokeswoman refused to elaborate, saying it was an "operational matter". Customs confirmed a matter was passed on to federal police for investigation, but also refused to comment further.

A spokesman declined to identify the ship. The informant said a crew member had made "serious" allegations against a colleague and because of the nature of those claims, police were called. The Indian man was taken away by AFP officers for questioning around sunrise on Friday.
