FORMER Qantas baggage handler Bilal Khazal, will face a committal hearing in June to determine whether he will go to trial on terror- related charges.

Mr Khazal, 34, from Lakemba in Sydney’s southwest, appeared in traditional Islamic dress at the Central Local Court in Sydney yesterday.

He has been charged with knowingly collecting or making documents connected with terrorism.

Mr Khazal’s bail was continued, with conditions requiring him to carry a special mobile phone that allows authorities to track his whereabouts. His internet use and community contact has been restricted.

His solicitor Adam Houda told the court he had reached agreement with the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions allowing him to cross-examine an Australian Federal Police officer at the committal hearing.

Police allege Mr Khazal created an internet document that listed countries he considered “the enemy” and encouraged the killing of “infidels”. His defenders claim this was a compilation of writings by other Muslims.
