Sydney Beheading Plot Accused Was a Small-Time TV Actor
September 18th, 2014Let me get this straight: “The Terrorists” talk about beheading people on the phone?
Everyone knows about mass surveillance except, “Australia’s most senior Islamist militant,” and his TV actor minion?
Mmm hmm.
Via: New Zealand Herald:
The 22-year-old Sydney man arrested in the nation’s largest counter-terrorism operation allegedly conspired with Australia’s most senior Islamist militant to launch a deadly attack on a random passerby, court documents show.
According to the documents, police intercepted a phone call between the arrested Omarjan Azari and Mohammad Ali Baryalei – who is alleged to have recruited half of the 60 Australians fighting in the Middle East – two days ago.
The account said Baryalei ordered him to carry out an attack which Sydney Central Local Court heard was “clearly designed to shock, horror and terrify the community”.
Before it emerged this month that Baryalei had become a senior Islamic State militant, he worked as a bouncer in Sydney’s Kings Cross nightclub district and had also played a bit part in the TV series Underbelly.
Azari today appeared in court charged with a conspiracy to prepare a terrorist attack on Australian soil. He is the only man charged so far after police arrested 15 people in raids earlier today.
