Muslim males ‘plot to kill women, kids’
A GROUP that was exclusively Muslim and male was set up in Melbourne to carry out a violent jihad, a Victorian court has been told.
The opening day of the Supreme Court trial of 12 men accused of being members of a terrorist organisation has been told that the group was instructed that killing women and children was permissible.
Crown prosecutor Richard Maidment SC told the court that Abdul Nacer Benbrika, 47, of Dallas in Melbourne’s north, was the group leader.
“The organisation was exclusively male and exclusively Muslim,” Mr Maidment told the court.
