Raban Alou shouted "
this is only the beginning" as he was led from the NSW Supreme Court in Paramatta.
Alou pleaded guilty to aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring a terrorist act.
The 20-year-old admitted obtaining and giving a handgun to 15-year-old Fahad Mohammad at the Parramatta Mosque.
The teenager then used the Smith & Wesson .38 revolver to shoot Mr Cheng outside Parramatta police headquarters in October 2015, before being shot dead by two special constables.
Following Alou's outburst, Justice Peter Johnson commented the behaviour reinforced Alou's "almost hopeless prospect of rehabilitation".http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-01/raban-alou-jailed-for-44-years-for-role-in...The bloody Islamic jihadi mutt was one of Bwian's 'vast majority of ordinary Muslims' until he wasn't.
