Accused 'found near reactor' 14-11-2005 From: AAP
POLICE stopped three alleged terrorists near the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor in December 2004, a court has been told.
The police fact sheet tendered in relation to eight Sydney terrorist suspects who faced Sydney's Central Local Court last Friday was released this morning. The document states that Mazen Touma, Mohammed Elomar and Abdul Rakib Hasan were stopped in their car by NSW police near the nuclear facility at Lucas Heights, in Sydney's south, in December 2004.
The men also had a trail bike and claimed they were there to ride it, the document said.
But according to the fact sheet, when interviewed separately, all three gave different versions of the day's events to police.
"Police inquiries revealed the access lock for a gate to a reservoir of the reactor had recently been cut," the fact sheet said.
Touma, Elomar and Hasan, along with five other Sydney men, have been charged with conspiring to manufacture explosives in preparation for a terrorist act.
They will reappear in Central Local Court on December 5.
If terrorists ever blew up a nuclear reactor, liberals would blame the reactor.
NO! The libs would blame Bush!
Is it my imagination, or have our Aussie friends been a real target to IslamoFacists lately?
Well yea, him too. But, my point is that libs hate Nuclear energy as much as they hate guns. God knows it's always the gun that is responsible for murders and not the shooter with them.
They would no doubt shout it to anyone who would listen that if it were not for the Nuclear Plant being there, this never would have happened.
Are you kidding? They can't even take themselves seriously.
Australians have been a target of them since at least 1999. I don't think we've become more of a target recently. I think what has happened is that we've just become a lot better at detecting the threats.
And part of that, honestly, does seem to come from the Moslem community. September 11 got Australians, in general, thinking about terrorism.
Bali made it quite clear to those who were still in denial that disassociating ourselves from America wouldn't save us.
The London bombings - well, that finally triggered moderate Moslems into action. They were forced to decide whether they were Moslems first and Australians second, or Australians first and Moslems second. At least some (with luck, maybe even most) decided that to put country above religion - and they've started giving security forces the information they need.
Maybe they were just a group of comic book fans trying to acquire super powers....
bump
Correct.
It ain't just been lately. The first major attack after 9/11 targeted Australians in Bali.
Time is not on our side. We need to go WW2 on this WOT.
