"Prime Minister John Howard says the Government will ban a radical Islamic group operating in Australia if authorities find it is a terrorist threat. The Government's hard line on Hizb ut-Tahrir has not tempered the group's language, with a spokesman warning the Government would pay a price for its support of countries occupying Muslim lands. Spy agency ASIO is investigating Hizb ut-Tahrir, which has been banned in Britain, and is expected to deliver an assessment on its activities within days."
