SYDNEY - ASIO has conducted another raid on the house of a possible Jemiah Islamiah suspect.

		Authorities acted on a tip off that one of the children living here was doing a school project on Indonesia.

ASIO officers have swooped on a family, shouting and waving machine guns at them, in what police assure us is just a routine Neighbourhood Watch drop in.

They’ve seized detailed maps of Afghanistan and Bali from inside the family’s home. Police say the images were cunningly hidden in a world atlas, which ASIO has just confiscated.

There are still unconfirmed reports that they were planning an attack on Australia.

However, police report finding maps of Australia inside the same atlas.
