Terrorist prisoner Abdul Nacer Benbrika has Australian citizenship cancelled
The Federal Government has cancelled the citizenship of Abdul Nacer Benbrika, one of Australia’s most notorious terrorists, ahead of his expected release from a Victorian prison.
Benbrika was jailed for 12 years in 2008 for his role in a plot to attack a number of targets in Victoria and New South Wales.
The Government tried and failed to keep the Algerian-born cleric locked up in Victoria’s Barwon Prison after his sentence finished.
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton confirmed the Government had now revoked Benbrika’s Australian citizenship.
More to come.
