Terror suspect to apply for bail

December 8, 2006 - 1:26PM

A Brisbane high school teacher accused of terrorism charges will appear 
in the Supreme Court next week as part of his bid to seek bail.

John Howard Amundsen, 40, from the northside suburb of Aspley, is 
charged with using false documents to obtain explosives and preparing to 
commit an act of terrorism.

He was arrested after police uncovered 53kg of explosives at his home 
eight months ago.

Amundsen, who is representing himself after sacking his fourth set of 
legal representatives, appeared via video-link in a review of his case 
in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday.

He told Chief Magistrate Marshall Irwin he would be appearing in the 
Supreme Court in Brisbane on Monday.

The case will be adjourned and a date for a bail hearing will be set.

Amundsen is eager to leave Brisbane's Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre, 
as he feels restricted in preparing his case there.

Amundsen has said he believes he can defend himself because he has 
studied some legal subjects at university.

He was given permission to be assisted in court by a retired solicitor 
friend, John Jeffers.

Prosecutors now have statements from about 230 witnesses, and so far 
they have ruled out only 100 of them from being called to give evidence.

Amundsen plans to extensively cross-examine at least 34 prosecution 
witnesses before calling at least 10 witnesses of his own, including a 
special effects expert from Los Angeles.

Mr Irwin adjourned for further review in the magistrates court next Friday.
