Benbrika praised London bombings
2005-12-22
THE alleged leader of an Australian terror cell devoted to violent jihad was heard praising the London bombings, a court heard yesterday. Islamic spiritual adviser and accused terrorist Abdul Nacer Benbrika, 45, was recorded discussing the fatal attacks as "the best" soon after the July 7 explosions which claimed more than 50 lives, police allege. "That's what Osama [bin Laden] has been waiting for," Benbrika allegedly said. "We'll get the enemy."

Benbrika is charged with being the leader and a member of a terrorist group, while nine others are accused of joining the unnamed Melbourne group. Members were secretly recorded talking about elections as being a "good time to do something" and urging Benbrika to allow them to act, prosecutor Nicholas Robinson told Melbourne Magistrates Court.

Magistrate Reg Marron is deciding whether to grant bail to two suspects, Amer Haddara, 26, and Shane Kent, 29.
How about: 'no'!
The court heard that Kent, a father of three, denies he pledged his allegiance to jihad when meeting with al-Qaeda boss bin Laden at a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan months before the September 11, 2001, US attacks. His lawyer, Peta Murphy, said it was not a crime to meet bin Laden or train at the al-Farooq camp at the time, noting that even US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld had met the elusive terrorist ringleader.
WTF?
Solicitor Rob Stary, for Haddara, likened the case against his client to the bungled search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. "There are gaping holes in the Crown case," he said, stating that Haddara "rejects categorically" suggestions he was a member of a terrorist group.

Mr Marron is expected to decide on bail for Kent and Haddara this morning.

#1  Benbrika allegedly said. "We'll get the enemy."

Sure enough, bigshot. Kill "the enemy", all 37 at a time. Keep this sh!t up and you're going to find Muslims being killed by the untold thousands when this world finally gets its fill of Islamist violence. You moron jihadi terrorists are going to spawn the Moslem Holocaust and not much else with your mindless violence.
