Australia moves to ban Hamas and Lashkar-e-Taiba | |
2003-11-05 | |
The Australian government said Tuesday it would seek powers to ban Pakistan-based Islamist militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba and Palestinian group Hamas. Attorney General Philip Ruddock told parliament that the Lashkar-e-Taiba âhas links with Australia and therefore does pose a threat to Australia and Australian interestsâ. A bill would be presented to parliament on Wednesday, he said, pointing out that LeT was known to have carried out many deadly attacks in the sub-continent.

#1 Hmm Australia buys a clue--as opposed to perfidious Albion which supplies jihadi nutz to Iraq via Jordan and countenances Izlamomonutz in central Londistan. But Phrawnce is the problem...oops I forgot Bulldog, France is the supporter of Islamic terrorism--just like FRANCE coddled that bastard that killed Daniel Pearl |
