Police said it was “one of the most sophisticated plots that has ever been attempted on Australian soil.” Political and media elites blame us — do not mention or dare speak of the motive in this bloody war, islamophobes. It gives the savages good reason to mutilate, maim and slaughter.
Suspected mastermind behind Sydney plane bomb plot captured in Iraq
An Islamic State commander and suspected ringleader behind a foiled plot to blow up a plane in Sydney last year, and his Australian relative, have been captured in Iraq, Ten Eyewitness News has confirmed.
Eyewitness News, 18 April 2018

While declining to name Merhi – citing the Privacy Act – Defence Minister Marise Payne confirmed the arrest of an Australian citizen.
”I can advise that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance in accordance with the Consular Services charter,” she said.
Merhi’s sister Linda was arrested earlier this year, and accused of sending $30,000 to her brother.
While in Syria, Khayat is alleged to have directed his Sydney-based brothers to assemble and smuggle a bomb hidden inside a meat grinder onto an Etihad plane destined for Abu Dhabi on July 15 last year.
The device, a “high-end military-grade explosive,” was placed inside a passenger’s luggage but never managed to breach airline security, after airport staff at Sydney’s International Airport weighed the luggage and found it was too heavy. The bag was never checked in or carried onto the plane and police have said the device was later dismantled.
The foiled plot sent shockwaves through Australia and left police scrambling after it was revealed authorities were only tipped off about the plan 11 days later.
Last year, the Australian Federal Police carried out raids in Surry Hills, Wiley Park, Lakemaba and Punchbowl and charged Khaled and Mahmoud Khayat over the plot.
Police said it was “one of the most sophisticated plots that has ever been attempted on Australian soil.”
Authorities allege a second plan was also hatched to create a toxic hydrogen sulphide bomb, but believe that plot was foiled before the device was close to being functional.
The most recent arrests were reportedly kept secret because of diplomatic sensitivities surrounding the case.

Oh yes lots of hush hush secrets citing national security and privacy laws. The fact is the authorities would be embarrassed to have the details of how they almost missed a major terrorist attack. Nice whitewash, australia.

Agree. Sharia Police in Uk are not willing to protect those who speak truth about islam https://tinyurl.com/ya6j3phj
Instead go after those who expose the jihadi crimes and their Left/Liberal supporters !

If they HAVE to acknowledge Islam in some way, the freak will be declared mentally ill or he hijacked peaceful Islam. Don’t ask me why they have this insane denial of what Islam is – an EVIL mental illness parading around as a “religion.”

Ever notice, that with their photograph portraits, those things are always posing with some firearm, invented and manufactured by Kufars? Seriously, moslems are too stupid to manufacture a firearm, much less invent one.

When they have invaded and taken over a country they LIVE OFF of those they conquered. After centuries of this, the populace can not avoid having a low IQ and being primitive.

Moslems are good only at parasiting Kufars. That is what they have been doing for 1400 years.

That does not appear to be a Kalashnikov. However, there are severa; after market drums that fit many auto-loaders. I’ve even seen one for a Ruger 10/22 .22 rim fire.

It seems to have the gas tube that AK-47’s do — maybe it’s a Chinese knock-off.

Even Australia is not being spared the horrors of jihad. The entire Western world must stand strong and united in this fight, for it will not end any time soon, I am afraid. 🙁
