Former Qantas cabin cleaner Belal Saadallah Khazaal faces up to 15 years in jail after being convicted over a terrorism "do-it-yourself" jihad book, and a possible retrial on a second charge.
A NSW Supreme Court jury yesterday said it was unable to reach a verdict on the second charge related to the 110-page book written in Arabic.
The jury on Wednesday found the Sydney man guilty of making a document - between September 20 and 23, 2003 - connected with assistance in a terrorist act, knowing of that connection.
But the jury was discharged yesterday after failing to agree on a verdict on a charge of attempting to incite others to engage in a terrorist act, between September 22 and October 8, 2003.
