Charges dropped against Chaser team

By Yahoo!7 News APEC security charges against members of The Chaser's War on Everything comedy team have been dropped.

Eleven people from the ABC show were charged last year after driving a fake motorcade past police during the APEC security conference in Sydney.

The motorcade, carrying comedian Chas Licciardello dressed as al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, was stopped near the hotel where US President George W Bush was staying.

The ABC reported that its lawyers had welcomed the decision to drop charges, but had not received an explanation.
