Stolen rocket launchers 'hidden in Vic'

Federal police fear five stolen rocket launchers may have been hidden in Melbourne by a terrorist group.

An Australian Federal Police spokesman told Fairfax newspapers it was "common sense" to assume agents were in Victoria searching for the rocket launchers because the terrorist group had cells in Melbourne and Sydney's south-west.

Taha Abdul Rahman was arrested at a house in Leumeah, in Sydney's south-west, on Friday and charged with 17 offences over seven rocket launchers allegedly stolen from the Australian Defence Force.

Police say Abdul Rahman, 28, supplied five of the Light Anti-Armour Weapons to one of the men arrested in anti-terrorism raids in Sydney last November over a plot to blow up the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Lucas Heights nuclear reactor.

When we KNOW who the terrorists are, we should be able to "confine" them. >:-(

It's racist to print the names of the suspects. "People" might assume that all Middle East persons are terrorists.../s

In the interest of minimizing casualties on both sides, I think a policy of searching mosques, with the understanding that any mosque found to have been used as an arms depot will be leveled would be quite salutory. Here, down under, in Iraq, . . .

Sounds like an an excellent plan for the UK, Aussie Land, Canada and the USA. Any mosque, public building, business or home which has been used as an Islamic Arms Depot or fund raiser to buy arms will be leveled. Homes and businesses may be seized and auctioned off to pay for the cost of these operations.
