I have no idea whether there are active terrorist cells in Australia (and neither do you). My point was that the countries from which al-Qaeda draws its support is rather surprising.

Another loser. Age 26, and he's off playing guerrilla warrior? Get a life.

Thank God the guy wasn't a Kiwi or we'd never hear the end of it on here...... If that situation did arise, we`d be just as keen to drop a daisycutter on him as you.
We just object to the occasional poster who says that all Kiwis are stupid liberals because we have a Labour government. If we said that all Americans are dishonest (and worse) because Bill Clinton is an American, you`d be mighty pissed off, and you`d have every right.
You can`t tar nearly 4 million people with the same brush.

Thanks to the Media, "ISLAMIC TRAINING" keeps making me think of guys with lobotomies, wearing sandals and draperies going across a set of monkey bars.
Ooh... They look scary!

I think you may remember a certain "Croatian national" who briefly hijacked and flipped a Greyhound bus in Tennessee after knifing the driver.
The incident was supposedly unrelated to the events of 9/11.
However, the guy in question was from a Bosnian border town.
There are thousands of Albanian and Bosnian Muslims in the US, many of whom were welcomed as refugees.

I seem to recall he was armed with a boxcutter, also.

I bet there are many Liberals here in the US that would LOVE to fight with the Taliban; they just don't want to admit it Would these be the feminist or the civil liberty, get religion out of schools/govt types?

I know there are Bosnians in Australia....refugees from the Yugoslavian civil wars....I would bet you he is a Bosnian muslim.
The
Sydney Morning Herald is showing his name and photo. With a name like David Hicks I doubt that he's Bosnian, more probably a fair dinkum Ozzie bloke.
