Australian-Lebanese man found guilty in Etihad Airways bomb plot
As has been mentioned before, the typical jihadi cell is a family.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The first of two brothers charged with plotting to bring down a flight from Sydney to Abu Dhabi with a crude bomb concealed in a meat grinder was found guilty on Wednesday.
The loving Khayat brothers prepared the bomb at the behest of third brother Tarek Khayat, a senior ISIS emir in Syria. They planned to give to yet another brother who was associated with the airlines — without telling him what he was carrying. Thank goodness it was too heavy to be carried on....
Australian-Lebanese brothers Khaled
...now age 51...
and Mahmoud Khayat
...now 34...
were charged in July 2017 with planning to bring down an Etihad Airways passenger jet in a plot police alleged was under the instructions of ISIS.

The improvised device, using "high military-grade explosive,"
...they mean that plastic stuff...
was due to be smuggled onto a July 15 service from Sydney, but the attempt was aborted before they reached security.

Police claimed that communications with ISIS began in April 2017, with the group sending the men components and propellants through international cargo from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the most dubious NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....

Khaled’s sentencing is due July 25, while the jury is still deliberating a verdict for his brother. Both men face life sentences.
