Slide 11 : Five men found guilty of Australian terror plot
Five men were convicted on Friday of plotting a terrorist attack by stockpiling bomb-making instructions and purchasing explosive chemicals in Australia's largest terrorist conspiracy.
A jury deliberated for a month before finding the men guilty of conspiring to commit acts in preparation for a terrorist attack. Each face a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Slide 12 : .
During the trial, which began in November 2008, prosecutor Richard Maidment told the jury in New South Wales state Supreme Court that the men planned to use explosive devices or firearms to commit ``extreme violence'' in a bid to force Australia's government to change its policy on Middle East conflicts.
Justice Anthony Whealy restricted the media from publishing the men's names on the Internet.
Slide 13 : The men were arrested in a series of raids on their homes in 2005. Maidment said during the trial that the raids turned up bomb-making instructions _ including footage of planes flying into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and images of beheadings. The prosecutor also said the men purchased explosive chemicals and guns between July 2004 and November 2005.
Slide 14 : The jury was also told one man participated in a terrorist-run paramilitary training camp in Pakistan, and three others attended similar camps in New South Wales to prepare for an attack.
