Great outcome and great work by our security services as they were caught before anyone could be hurt.

I hope they can be deported directly after there sentence.

I also hope a bit better vetting can be done for Iraqi refugees and Kuwaiti students in future.


See ya, Omar and Mohammad.


Mohammad Kiad, Omar Al-Kutobi sentenced to 20 years' jail for foiled terror plot

Sydney men Omar Al-Kutobi and Mohammad Kiad have been sentenced to 20 years' jail for preparing to commit a terrorist attack.
Key points:

    Omar Al-Kutobi and Mohammad Kiad plotted deadly terrorist attacks in Sydney
    The duo will spend at least 15 years behind bars
    They were arrested in February 2015 after a tip-off

Al-Kutobi, 25, and Kiad, 27, intended to target a Shiite prayer hall in February last year, but that plan was abandoned in favour of a plot to attack someone with either a knife or machete.

They will spend a minimum of 15 years behind bars.

Great news hey Mothballs and Pecca. What do you both reckon??

Can anyone suggest why an Iraqi refugee who's pretty much won country Lotto would have such a mind snap and want to continue the religious violence he's just fled from? Bizarre.

This thread makes the bacon thread look pretty lame.

I watched it on the news the other night dear. In court it was said they were planning to used gas cylinders to make bombs. They were tossing up blowing up a Shia prayer hall, a building or a train. At first they were going to go on a stabbing frenzy. Go and have a lay down mothballs.

"mass death"?

What was the final death toll?

And, when did it become a competition?

No death but still a very alarming incident which made the bacon thread look like the joke it is.
