Australia foils 'imminent' terror attack

From AFP:

Sydney (AFP) - Australia has thwarted an "imminent" terror attack, arresting two men and seizing an Islamic State flag, a machete and a video detailing the alleged plot during a raid in Sydney, police said Wednesday. 

Asked whether it involved a beheading, Burn said police were as yet unsure, but that it had been due to happen Tuesday in Sydney, and would likely have involved a knife. 

The men, Omar Al-Kutobi, 24, and Mohammad Kiad, 25, were arrested in a raid on a property in Sydney's western suburbs by the Joint Counter Terrorism Taskforce on Tuesday after a tip-off, and charged with making preparations for a terrorist act. 

They were refused bail on Wednesday, with the case adjourned until Thursday due to security issues. "A number of items were located including a machete, a hunting knife, a home-made flag representing the proscribed terrorist organisation IS, and also a video which depicted a man talking about carrying out an attack," Burn said. 

"We will allege that both of these men were preparing to do this act yesterday. We built up information, we received further information which indicated an attack was imminent. And we acted."

MEANWHILE, it was revealed today that the Filipino military foiled an assassination attempt on the Pope when he was visiting last month.

I don't like the Pope, and I do expect that he will eventually be assassinated by Muslims, but well, I guess I'm glad they didn't get him yet. I believe he has much more equivocating, cowering and sandal-licking to do before God will let him get murdered by Jihadists.

God wants to show that His way are not's man's ways. And, he's going to use the Pope to show just how weak-willed and amoral man is.
