A radicalised ISIS member had plans to target Sydney’s St Mary’s Cathedral and the American embassy for terror attacks and ‘to conquer’ a rural town like Orange, a court has been told.
Isaac El Matari also spoke of travelling to Afghanistan to fight on the frontline with the aim of supporting ISIS.
The 22-year-old, who was arrested in July 2019, faced a sentence hearing in the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday.
He has pleaded guilty to doing an act in preparation and planning for a terrorist act in Australia on behalf of IS between July 2018 and September 2019.
He also admitted preparing to enter Afghanistan via Pakistan with the intention of engaging in hostile activities.
And he admitted being a member of IS between January and September 2019.
Prosecutor Sophie Callan SC said El Matari left Australia when he was 18 but was arrested in 2017 and incarcerated in Lebanon for seeking to join Islamic State in Syria.
But this did not deter him and after his return to Sydney in June 2018, the depth and extent of his radicalisation continued up until his arrest.
He was involved in a number of communications and other activities, including ‘rehearsing speeches and instructions’, which reflected planning to conduct attacks in Australia on behalf of IS.
Citing the agreed statement of facts, she said he discussed with others his plans such as insurgency in rural Australia, referring to the landscape and population.
He mentioned specific targets including the American embassy, St Mary’s Cathedral and referred to ‘conquering a small town or village’, naming Orange.
He also referred to ‘places of political significance, business, consulates, police stations, courts, the NSW library’.
They were places open to the public and ‘no security protecting them’ he was recorded as saying.
‘Going and taking and causing casualties in Holsworthy barracks in Campbelltown will make international news,’ he said….
His barrister Matt Johnstone…referred to his onerous conditions in jail and the effect of COVID-19 lockdowns on prisoners.
‘There is contrition and a desire to change,’ he said.
He also referred to El Matari suffering from PTSD as a result of being tortured in the notorious Roumieh prison in Lebanon….
Oh, well, then! Let the poor dear walk free.
