2016 trial expected for terror accused

The trial of an Islamic bookstore owner facing terrorism-related charges in Queensland is expected start at the end of October.

Omar Succarieh, 32, was arrested in September 2014 and subsequently accused of fundraising for the Jabhat al-Nusra terror group in Syria, as well as arranging to send an alleged associate to join the fighting.

Justice Ann Lyons stopped short of formally setting a date at a review on Tuesday but flagged an October 31 start for the trial, which is expected to run between four and six weeks.
