Australian terror supporter faces restriction after his release
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Former Guantanamo terror prisoner David Hicks remains a threat, a magistrate said Friday as he ordered restrictions on his movements after he is released from an Australian prison next week.
Hicks, a former kangaroo skinner who pleaded guilty to supporting al-Qaida at a US military tribunal after being captured in 2001 in Afghanistan, will be subject to a midnight-to-dawn curfew and have to report to police three times a week under the order.
"I'm satisfied that coupled with the defendant's views expressed and his capability and training ... that the defendant is a risk of taking part in a terrorist act," Federal Magistrate Warren Donald said.
