| | Australia released the Flood report in 2004, an assessment of prewar intelligence on Iraq, which described the evidence supporting Iraq's possession of weapons of mass destruction as “thin, ambiguous, and incomplete.” But like similar U.S. and UK intelligence reports, it cleared the government of manipulating the intelligence. | | | Australia has been the victim of two significant terrorist attacks in recent years: the 2002 Bali, Indonesia, bombings by a group with ties to al-Qaeda in which 202 died, many of whom were Australian, and the 2004 attack on the Australian embassy in Indonesia, which killed ten. | | | Participation in World War II brought Australia closer to the United States. |
