Five Sydney men have been found guilty of preparing terrorist acts in one of Australia’s longest criminal trials, which began in November 2008 and involved 180 “sitting days” in a specially-built courtroom. The jury was out for 23 days deliberating. The men, charged with possessing chemicals and bomb-making instructions, cannot be named for legal reasons. They are expected to be sentenced in December.
