| France warns of upcoming terrorist attacks in Australia |
| 2004-02-15 |
| The French authorities have warned of a likely terrorist attack in Australia this year, according to the Herald Sun newspaper. It said the French had confirmed that a terrorist cell in Sydney with plans to launch a devastating attack was broken up after the arrest of French terrorist suspect Willie Brigitte. But they said a sleeper cell still existed in Australia, which is regarded as "weak" by extremist organisations. Senior French sources fear the cell is planning a post-Iraq war attack and believe it is linked to little-known groups in the Russian region of Chechnya and the former Soviet state of Georgia. So it looks like Basayev as well as the LeT are going to global to pick up the slack for the International Front ... "An attack in Australia is inevitable. I would not be surprised if something occurred in this year," one senior official was quoted by the newspaper as saying. |

| #2 The Moslem radicals in Australia are only semi-men. Actually, they may have "accidentally" discovered women, beer, and rugby, and could give a rat's a$$ about doing anything that might upset the applecart. Why blow yourself up in the hope of getting into heaven when there's a large dollop of it right there in front of you? |
