The men have been accused of helping to recruit, facilitate and fund people to travel to Syria to engage in hostile activities. AFP officers and the Queensland Police Service searched the iQraa Islamic centre and bookstore in Logan, south of Brisbane. Several other properties in Brisbane were also raided. One of the centre's founders is believed to be the brother of Abu Asma al Australi, who is suspected of being the first Australian suicide bomber to die in Syria.
