... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
a man on Tuesday who officials say was planning to advise the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group on how to develop missiles.

Australian Federal Police arrested the 42-year-old electrician during a raid at his home in the rural New South Wales town of Young following an 18-month investigation, Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin told news hounds in the nation’s capital, Canberra.

Haisem Zahab, an Australian-born citizen, is accused of researching and designing a laser warning device that could alert the Islamic State group to incoming guided weapons used by coalition forces in Syria and Iraq, Colvin said. He is also accused of researching, designing and modeling systems to assist the Lion of Islam group’s efforts to develop their own long-range guided missiles, Colvin said.
Al Ahram adds:
Zahab appeared in court on two foreign incursion charges punishable by life imprisonment. He was refused bail and will reappear on March 8.

#1 seems to me the time to jug him was before he gave the laser defense plans to islamic state

considering asio have unlimited powers now to hack everyone's computer, and considering all the Five Eyes have x-keyscore (at least that's what i understand from snowden) then there's no excuses is there?
