NSW: Khazal to face committal on terrorism charge

SYDNEY, Aug 1 AAP - Former Sydney baggage handler Bilal Khazal has been committed to
stand trial on a charge of inciting another person to commit a terrorist act.

The fresh charge was revealed in June when the 35-year-old former Qantas employee was
ordered to stand trial for knowingly collecting or making documents connected with terrorism.

In Central Local Court, Magistrate Michael Price committed Khazal to also stand trial
on the fresh charge.

"I find there is a reasonable prospect that a reasonable jury properly instructed would
convict you of this indictable offence," he said.

Khazal will face both charges in one committal hearing in the NSW Supreme Court on September 2.

Bail was continued.
