The brother of Australian cricket star Usman Khawaja has been drawn into a police counter-terrorism investigation.
According to a report by Ten Eyewitness News, officers this week raided the Sydney home where Arsalan Khawaja lives with his parents, as part of their probe into a terrorism "hit list" found written in a notebook at the University of New South Wales.
On Friday, a terrorism charge was dropped against the notebook's owner Mohamed Nizamdeen, as police conceded it was "likely" he was not the author of the manifest, which made reference to former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, former Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and the Sydney Opera House.
It's understood police are now investigating whether Nizamdeen was "set up".
