Foiled plot to blow up plane, unleash gas revealed in Australia

[CaliCat 3,957]

Yes, they have foreign-sounding names. Yes they were acting in concert with ISIS. Yes, they are terrorists. No, they are not Muslims.

Having got that out of the way, can we say well, done Australian police?

 

Foiled plot to blow up plane, unleash gas revealed in Australia

(CNN)Police describe twin terror plots, one involving the bombing of a passenger plane and the other a potential poison gas attack, as the "most sophisticated" ever attempted on Australian soil.

A senior ISIS commander sent parts -- including weapons-grade explosives -- by air cargo from Turkey intending to build an improvised explosive device, Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner National Security Michael Phelan said during a press conference Friday.

The other scheme involved a plan to release a toxic gas in public that was foiled when the accused couldn't produce the deadly gas.

 

 

Two men living in Sydney, identified by CNN affiliate Seven News as Khaled Khayat, 49, and Mahmoud Khayat, 32, were charged with terror-related offenses Thursday.

The two appeared by video link Friday in Sydney's Parramatta Court. No plea has been entered. Neither man applied for bail, and a court hearing has been deferred until November 14 after a brief of evidence was requested.

"At the moment, all I can say is they are entitled to the presumption of innocence," their legal representative, Michael Coroneos, told CNN affiliate Sky News Australia. "Once the brief of evidence is served, we can assess their legal position."

One other man remains in police custody, and a fourth has been released.

He shouldn't have swallowed so much Beano beforehand, perhaps.

Let me help you with that so called claim.

 

It was easy for a MDL to post an article showing that someone who is Muslim did something bad. Its a coping mechanism

It doesn't, so for all we know they could belong to any religion, although you'd be hard pressed to find one that condones terrorism.

 

My point, which you helped me make, is that no religion was attributed or mentioned. Normally there is a need to shift the focus of such events into a free-for-all religious bashing.

 

You can't therefore state their religion, because it was not mentioned. You could just as easily have said they were not Christians or Zoroastrians.

It was easier to find someone to help me substantiate the claim. Thank you. 

 

Back to topic, kudos to the Australian police, wouldn't you say?

They actually did mention religion in the article.  Last time I checked the "I" in ISIS stands for Islamic.

Sure, kudos to the Australian police for foiling a terror plot planned by Muslim religious zealots.

I believe the ardent members of ISIS would take the opposite view and claim the peaceful practitioners of Islam are not real Muslims.

Too bad the Canadian Police didn't have the same luck foiling the Right Wing Terrorists plan to shoot innocent, non-extremist actual Muslims a few months ago right?

 

Go Australian police! Good job!

I agree, the police in Canada dropped the ball.
