CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Australia on Monday restricted the movement of a terror suspect whose conviction was struck down earlier this month, applying tough new laws adopted in response to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Joseph Thomas, a 32-year-old Muslim convert, was convicted in February of accepting $3,500 and a plane ticket to Australia from an al-Qaida agent in Pakistan and having a false passport.
He was sentenced to five years in prison by Victoria state's high court, becoming the first person imprisoned under the new anti-terrorism laws, which took effect in December.
