Terrorism case opens in Sydney court

A committal hearing has begun for a Sydney architect accused of planning a major terrorist attack on the electricity grid and a defence site.

Sydney Central Local Court is being asked to decide if there is enough evidence for 34-year-old Faheem Khaled Lodhi to face trial on nine terrorism-related charges.

In opening the case, Commonwealth prosecutor Richard Maidment SC told Sydney Central Local Court that between May and October last year, Lodhi created several false identities to buy maps of the electricity grid and obtain the prices of chemicals.

He is accused of downloading aerial photographs of defence sites in Sydney from the Internet.

The court also heard that Lodhi was closely linked to French terrorism suspect Willie Brigitte.

Mr Maidment told the court that Lodhi had established false identities for Brigitte.

Prosecutors also allege that in 2001 Lodhi was an official in a terrorist training camp in Pakistan.

The committal hearing is set down for six days.
Now Australia!

The NZ .

The outer space!

By the way do you know the meaning of the term hubris?

Dear Aussie,

We have had a number of close calls. Indeed, ASIO and the Australian Federal Police have done a great job in denying terrorists / potential terrorists the opportunity to cause probelms here. However, there is no need to GLOAT. Australians all need to show constant vigilance. At the same time I am not advocating paronoia either.
