Court to try Lebanese-Australian national on Al-Qa’ida links

A Lebanese court will try a man holding dual Lebanese-Australian citizenship later this month for alleged links to Al-Qa’ida.

Lebanese authorities arrested 41-year-old Mohammad Ramez Sultan in September, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

ABC believes Sultan was one of three people arrested, the others were a Lebanese and a Saudi.

The three men have been charged with forming a group to carry out criminal acts and undermine state authority.

Sultan left Lebanon for Australia in 1988, became a citizen three years later and left the country in 1997.
