NSW: Man acccused of producing terrorist book, targets like Bush

A NSW jury's been told a Sydney man produced a book advocating terrorist acts including
shooting down planes .. sending letter bombs .. and the assassination of people like US
President GEORGE W BUSH.

In his opening address for the crown in the NSW Supreme Court today .. PETER NEIL SC
said the book put Australia fifth on a list of targets.

He says in addition to BUSH .. US officials like DONALD RUMSFELD and COLIN POWELL were
among people marked for assassination.

Mr NEIL's taken the jury through a book of more than 100 pages which he says was produced
by BELAL SAADALLAH KHAZAAL.

He says the Arabic book has been translated into English for the jury by an expert.

KHAZAAL has pleaded NOT guilty to knowingly making a document connected with assistance
in a terrorist act and to attempting to incite the commission of a terrorist act.
