Go figure after reading this, whether terrorism is best handled as a law and order problem with the joint efforts of the worldwide intelligence agencies. Terrorism cannot be tackled with a hugh military of 150,000 troops. Australian link to bin Laden bomber By Ben English in London 28mar04 AN international manhunt has been launched for a Chechen explosives expert who was recruited to join Willie Brigitte in plans to launch a terror attack in Australia. Abou Salah is said to have met Brigitte, a terror suspect deported from Australia last October, at a training camp for militants in Pakistan. Salah has emerged as a key figure in the multinational probe into Sydney's terrorist network. Australian security chiefs have been told Salah is one of Osama bin Laden's most senior bomb experts, testing new weapons of terror in a Pakistan laboratory. Australian counter-intelligence agents are working with authorities in Pakistan, France and the US to find Salah, whom they believe may provide further clues about the planned Australian bomb attack. Brigitte told interrogators he had been ordered by Pakistan-based al-Qaeda operatives to meet Salah in Sydney to help him prepare an Australian atrocity. According to the French dossier on the Australian terror threat, Salah and Brigitte were to work with Pakistan-born Sydney architect Faheem Khalid Lodhi to prepare "an attack of great size" in Sydney. The dossier said Salah was also the commander of a series of vast terror-training camps in Pakistan. The Chechen planned to evade the Australian security surveillance net by entering Australia disguised as a Georgian team supporter during the Rugby World Cup, but he was thwarted when Australian Customs officials refused his visa application. Investigators believe the men were planning to attack a military base or nuclear site – in particular, the Lucas Heights reactor in Sydney's south-west and the Australian Army's administrative stronghold at Victoria Barracks, Paddington. themercury.news.com.au
