7 sought in Australian terror plot

| December 23, 2016

The UK’s Telegraph reports that seven folks (six men and one woman) who swore their allegiance to ISIS plotted to attack several locations in downtown Melbourne during Christmas reveling. Five (four Australian-born men – some of whom had a Lebanese background – and an Egyptian-born Australian man) are currently in custody;

The foiled plot comes with security on heightened alert in Australia after a truck drove into a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people, in an attack claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).

Police said the suspects were “self-radicalised” but inspired by Isil. The seven people were taken into custody and five locations were searched across Melbourne following a two-week operation involving state and federal police and ASIO, the domestic intelligence agency. A 26-year-old man and 20-year-old woman have since been released.

“We believe [the plot] was going to involve an explosive event,” said commissioner Graham Ashton, chief of police in the state of Victoria.

So, while we may not be in a war against Islam, radical Islamists seem to have declared war on Christianity.

The sect of hate and intolerance is at it again.

Yes, Daesh has published a list of hundreds, maybe thousands, of US churches, ditto in Canada and Europe, and is telling their followers to wreak havoc and horror-film types of mayhem on Christian places of worship on Christmas.

It is truly the religion of peace. We should definitely treat it that way, don’t you think?

Yes.

Yes, turn them into little pieces.

OK, you asked for it. This is from a UK paper, The Sun. There are two parts. In the first one, a missile is fired at the oncoming truck and it misses. In the second one, there are two cars loaded with explosives – lots of them – heading toward the same target. I’d say they mean business, but I do hope their attrition rate is climbing.

In addition to the suicide bombers, there is a video, which I did NOT view, of two Turkish soldiers taken prisoner by ISIS in Aleppo, being executed by fire.

This is why I would choose to nuke the whole damned region and poison it for the next 250 centuries.

Count me out, Air Cav. I’m going to make cookies before I eat up all the chocolate chips I bought.
