Plot to kill Howard

By KATIE LAPTHORNE

December 17, 2005

TERROR suspects talked chillingly about killing John Howard and his family as payback for the deaths of innocent Muslims, a court heard yesterday.

The conversation between accused would-be suicide bomber Abdulla Merhi and his spiritual leader Abdul Nacer Benbrika was covertly recorded in September last year.

The pair allegedly discussed taking "an eye for an eye" and how kafirs (non-believers) had taken over the world.

Merhi told the alleged leader of the Melbourne terror cell: "I want in on everything. If there is anything you talk to me, all right? I am not going to talk anymore."

The 20-year-old allegedly asked Benbrika how to respond if the Prime Minister was to cause the death of innocent Muslim families.




"Do we have to kill him and his family ... his people like at the football?" he said.

Benbrika replied: "If he kill our kids ... we kill (inaudible) little kids."

Prosecutor Nick Robinson said the pair spoke of committing violent jihad in the name of Allah and believed the doors of heaven would be opened to them for doing so.

Merhi said on the tape his eyes had recently been opened and a message had to be sent.

"I have made my point. If it comes up I will go but I am not waiting 20 years or two years," he said.

Benbrika said innocent ones could be the victims: "Because he kills our innocent ones ... that is it. An eye for an eye."

He also encouraged the younger man to do a "big thing" close to railway stations.

Mr Robinson said the conversation demonstrated the strength of the case against the men.

Magistrate Reg Marron said: "(The material) contains some disturbingly strong and reasonably assertive positions ... what they mean will no doubt become clear."

Merhi's barrister Robert Richter QC had argued the conversations were nothing more than thrashing out of theological issues, a claim dismissed by prosecutors.

"It is more than a religious discussion there is no doubt about that," Mr Robinson said.

"It is clearly about preparing ... for a violent jihad."

Merhi and his co-accused Hany Taha, 31, were yesterday denied bail for a second time. The duo were part of a group of 10 men charged last month with being a member of a terrorist organisation.

Eight of those men, including Merhi and Taha, also face a charge of funding a terrorist organisation.

The unnamed group allegedly plotted a violent jihad in Australia, ordering chemicals and discussing bomb-making.

Mr Marron said the case against the terror suspects was not overwhelmingly strong.

"It is a circumstantial case, it is an interpretive case, it involves many interpretations," he said.

Mr Marron said while he was concerned the men remained locked-up in Barwon Prison's high-security Acacia unit, they had not reached the threshold of exceptional circumstances.

They were remanded in custody to appear in court again in April.

Thanks Fred.

"It is more than a religious discussion there is no doubt about that," Mr Robinson said. "It is clearly about preparing ... for a violent jihad."

Did he ever consider that for a RoPer, this is a "religious" discussion?
