Australian terrorists

More information is starting to trickle out about the Islamofascist pig-dogs who were recently arrested in Australia. From MyWay/Reuters:

Sydney nuclear reactor terror plot target-police
Eight Sydney men arrested on terrorism charges may have been planning a bomb attack against the city's nuclear reactor, police said on Monday.

Their Islamic spiritual leader, also charged with terrorism offences, told the men if they wanted to die for jihad they should inflict "maximum damage," according to a 21-page police court document.

The document outlines how the men, arrested last week in the nation's biggest security swoop, bought chemicals used in the London July 7 bombs, had bomb-making instructions in Arabic and videos entitled "Sheikh Osama's Training Course" and "Are you ready to die?"

Under the heading "Targets," police said three of the men were stopped near Sydney's Lucas Heights nuclear reactor in December 2004. A security gate lock had recently been cut.

And more:

Police said the Sydney men had bought chemicals to produce "peroxide-based explosives" and had a computer memory stick containing instructions in Arabic to make explosives.

Between August and November 2005 the Sydney men had bought or ordered hundreds of liters of chemicals, steel drums, batteries, plastic piping, circuit kits, stopwatches and ammunition.

Police said during raids on the men's homes they seized chemicals, boxes of ammunition and firearms, machetes, samurai swords and books, cassettes and videos on terrorism and jihad.

During Benbrika's Melbourne court appearance last week, police said the cleric called bin Laden a "great man" that defends Muslims fighting U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Police told the court that one man had expressed a desire to become a "martyr" in Australia.

The peroxide-based explosive is probably TATP -- much loved by suicide bombers everywhere. Richard Ried, the guy who tried to blow up an airplane with his shoes was using it. Nasty stuff...
