Lite Beer Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Terror arrests in Australia over planned ANZAC Day attackAgence France-PresseSYDNEY Five men were arrested in Australia on Saturday with two of them allegedly planning a terrorist attack on a ceremony commemorating ANZAC soldiers who have fought and died for their country.Seven search warrants were executed in Melbourne by a joint counter-terrorism team, two months after Prime Minister Tony Abbott warned the threat from home-grown extremists was worsening.Police said two 18-year-olds were held over terrorism-related offences."It is alleged both men were undertaking preparations for planning terrorist acts in Melbourne, which included targeting police officers," Victoria state and federal police said in a joint statement."Part of their alleged planning included targeting an ANZAC Day ceremony."Ceremonies are due to be held in towns and cities across the country on April 25 to remember those who served and died as Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers -- the country’s most important national occasion.This year’s events have assumed added significance with the day marking a century since the bloody World War I Gallipoli campaign in what is now Turkey.More than 60,000 Australian and New Zealand troops joined an Allied expeditionary landing on the peninsula in 1915, and 11,500 of them never returned.The arrests also come just days after Australia began deploying 330 more troops to Iraq for two years to train local soldiers fighting jihadists including the Islamic State group, joining an aerial and special forces contingent in the region.A third man held in Saturday’s raids, also 18, was arrested on weapons charges with two other teenagers, aged 18 and 19, in custody and assisting with enquiries.Police said searches were continuing at several addresses in the southeast of the city, with investigations ongoing.Victoria Police Acting Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton said the central focus of the operation was ensuring the community’s safety."It was important for us to act early on a serious threat to our community. Safety should always be the priority and today we have acted swiftly to disrupt an attack intended to bring harm to everyday Victorians going about their business," he said."During ANZAC Day commemorations we encourage people to continue with their plans, but remain vigilant. The community should be reassured by the increased police presence at events."

A Welsh MP said last week the English people flying the George Cross flag - that's the English part of the union Jack) are "simpleton or casual racist" That was a Labour MP that said that! I enjoy it if somebody calls me an 'Islamaphobe' though. I simply explain that a phobia is an irrational fear of something. There's nothing irrational in worrying about Muslim radicals 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were 14% of 10,000 and 11% if 20,000 (just as an example) that would be 1400 and 2200 or 3600 out of a total of 30,000, which would be 12% in total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterb17 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 You need to think about what happened in Boston- just a couple of young guys- home made pressure cooker bombs. Horrendous. So good job done. What I find really incomprehensible - is apart from killing and maiming some infidels ( passage to paradise) what do they hope to achieve- just more worldwide hatred of Muslims - most just want a peaceful life and prosperity for their families. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right, half the Islamic world is illiterate, they are spoon fed a racist and supremacist ideology from cradle to grave. Western educated fifth columnists have no such excuse and as you say are all the more despicable as a result. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 At what point will we wake up? Probably when it's too late by the look of things. I think a lot of people are awake, but there isn't a lot that can be done. It's a little like applying the brakes when you are on black ice. The vehicle just keeps careening forward, out of control. You hope it eventually stops without hitting something or ending up in the ditch, but you have no control. There isn't much we can actually do. Unless some people are advocating starting a war on Islam, but in that case, we will not be much better than they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook, don't mind many of your posts, but fair dinkum, your maths is a bit sloppy. 26% of all australians are born overseas and one in three has a parent born OS. 40+ percent isnt so scary in that context. Dare say Springvale would have a much higher OS born population. Out that way there are plenty of Indians as well. Nevertheless, good job the coppers are on this.
