Read the Bali Confessions.  You'll find out that this was one of their 
reasons.  I was equally surprised to see it there because my assumption re 
Bali was that the attacks there were because the terrorists were after 
American service personnel on leave in Bali.  I was wrong.

But having said that, can you show where Iraq has threatened Australia or 
Australians? Oh, right, oil.  Silly me, of course I forgot about that.....
