Australian court convicts five men of terrorism plot

Updated October 16, 2009 20:21:51

A jury in Australia's longest running terrorism trial has convicted all five men accused of conspiring to prepare for an attack in Australia. The jury in the New South Wales Supreme Court had been told how they stockpiled weapons, ammunition and chemicals to make powerful explosives. But the prosecution never tried to prove they had moved beyond a conspiracy to identify a target or hatch a specific plot. And speaking outside the court the relatives of at least two of the men still deny that their loved ones are guilty of anything.
