Australia's Sydney targeted in terrorist plot: police

Fri Jan 5, 3:57 AM ET

SYDNEY (AFP) - Australian police have arrested a man for allegedly supplying
five rocket launchers stolen from the military to a suspected terrorist for use
in an attack in Sydney.

The 28-year-old man, Taha Abdul Rahman, was arrested in the southwestern
Sydney suburb of Leumeah in a joint operation by police and the country's
spy agency, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).

Rahman appeared in court later Friday on 17 charges, including dishonestly
receiving stolen property and supplying a prohibited weapon without
authorisation. He was remanded in custody after a brief hearing.

A police spokeswoman told AFP it was understood the weapons were to have
been used in an attack on a building in the country's most populous city,
Sydney, but gave no further details.

1. It's almost to be expected that the biggest enablers of

Shock and Awe would be targeted someday. The people of the Middle East have a whole lot to be angry about. And some will look for revenge.

How many of us would if it was our children that had been blown to bits in a totally undeserved attack by a country led by criminals and liars?

2. Your compassion for a terrorist is so touching.

I am sure if the missing rockets are used against the Australians,the victims will not agree with your heart-felt commiserations.

3. You're being stupid there stan. I don't have compassion for a

terrorist. I'm just saying that the dolts that thought it would be a great idea to attack a totally innocent civilian populace might have some peope who would be rather critical of that decision and this MIGHT BE AN EXPECTED RESULT OF SAID ATTACK.

I'm not talking about the Austrailian people, I was talking about John Howard and his idiot cronies who decided to attach their lips firmly to the neocons asses.
