Rockets to be fired in terror plot [Australia] The Australian ^ \| January 7, 2007 \| by James Madden and Simon Kearney theaustralian.news.com.au THE nation's only nuclear reactor and the Australian headquarters of American Express were likely to be targeted by terrorist clients of an accused arms dealer arrested in Sydney yesterday over the theft of five shoulder-fired rocket launchers. The plot, which NSW police described as "blurring the lines" between criminality and terrorism, dramatically widens what is known about the alleged plan in 2005 to attack targets in Sydney. Taha Abdulrahman, 28, of the western Sydney suburb of Leumeah, was yesterday charged with 17 offences related to the five rocket launchers, allegedly among seven stolen from the Australian Defence Force. He was remanded in custody after a brief court hearing. He is accused of knowing several of the 23 men arrested in Sydney and Melbourne in late 2005 in the nation's biggest counter-terrorism operation. The men are accused of being members of a terrorist organisation. "The person who received five (weapons) is facing terrorism charges on another matter," Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Frank Prendergast said. Mr Prendergast said another man who received stolen weapons was also facing criminal charges, which were not related to terrorism. AFP Commissioner Mick Keelty said police would allege one of the 66mm portable rockets was destined to be fired at a Sydney building. The Weekend Australian understands that building to be the 29-storey American Express headquarters on Liverpool Street in the central business district. NSW counter-terrorism chief Nick Kaldas told Macquarie Radio yesterday that another target being considered was Sydney's Lucas Heights nuclear reactor. Targets in Martin Place, in the business heart of Sydney, were also allegedly considered. (Excerpt) Read more at theaustralian.news.com.au ....
