POLICE investigating an alleged terrorist plot using stolen Australian army rocket launchers are close to arresting more suspects, including a member of Australia's biggest outlaw motorcycle gang.
The Rebels bikie from Sydney's southwest is one of several people suspected of playing a part in a stolen weapons trail leading to alleged Sydney arms dealer Taha Abdulrahman and his clients - one of whom is a terror suspect.
It is believed that police are close to making a number of further arrests in connection with the illegal sale of the anti-tank weapons which police allege were intended to be used to attack targets including the American Express headquarters in Sydney.
Mr Abdulrahman, 28, was arrested and charged on Friday with 17 offences, including unauthorised possession of a prohibited weapon and unauthorised supply of a prohibited weapon. The charges relate to five shoulder-mounted, anti-tank rocket launchers among seven allegedly stolen from the army. Police have recovered one of the launchers after cutting a deal with Sydney underworld figure Adnan Darwiche, who is serving a double life sentence for murder.
It has been revealed that the Darwiche family, which was caught up in a string of shootings in western Sydney stemming from a feud with the rival Razzak family, had access to some of the rocket launchers. Five of the stolen rocket launchers are believed to have been sold to a Sydney man who is now facing terrorism charges.
Community sources have said that a member of one Middle Eastern crime family has privately boasted of possession of at least one rocket launcher. Police said last week that Mr Abdulrahman had no immediate connections to the Australian Defence Force and that no ADF members were said to be under investigation at this point. But the focus of the police investigation is now on how the weapons were moved from the army to the Rebels, Mr Abdulrahman and then into the hands of a potential terrorist cell.
