-♻RetweetSydney Terror Attack Revealed

Sun, Nov 23, 2003 at 10:24:31 am PST

Former French marine Willie Brigitte, captured in Sydney on October 9 after French authorities warned Australia that he was a terror risk, told a fellow Islamozoid in France that he was planning to launch a terror attack in Australia: Sydney terror attack revealed. (Hat tip: Ethel Carol.)

Judicial officials in Paris revealed Frenchman Ibrahim Keita had admitted Brigitte told him in a telephone conversation before he was captured in Sydney last month that he was organising an attack.
Keita, 37, was arrested in Paris on Monday for terrorist activities.

A highly placed legal source told The Sunday Telegraph Brigitte asked Keita to join the Australian operation as a driver. Brigitte did not specify the nature or time frame of the attack.

The revelation is the first independent testimony confirming that Brigitte was heading a terrorist operation in Sydney.

Jeez, can't the French at least wait until they impose Shari'a at home before sending their jihadists abroad?

Hope the Aussies wring him dry of information, and then feed him to the sharks. Or the rugby fan.

Or the rugby fan.

"fans", that should be. Though I don't doubt that only one Oz rugby fan would suffice.

They suspected something was up when they located a Frenchman willing to fight.

Bob G #3 LOL

But I don't think he's really French, just an immagrant living in France.

Ah, the international crime family that is Islam.

These guys are mostly nothing more than scumbags, supported by other pious scumbags.

Smell the coffee folks.

Strange. I mean, who wouldn't want to be recruited into a terrorist plot as a driver?

"Driver? I dunno...I don't really like the sound of that."

"We really need you to do this. You're very important to the success of our mission."

"Hmm..."

"It'll be great, you'll be the star of the show."

"Well, I..."

"Come on, Ib, it'll be a blast!"

"Uhh..."

If I was a jihadi I would be very careful about trying to take on the Aussies. In a war against terrorists there are only four countries that I would have faith in: Australia, Israel, the U.K., and the USA.

OT But important: Some good news for a change:

Large anti-terrorism demonstration planned for December 10 in Baghdad:

"Don't forget Poland!"

Yes, thank you! They recently took their first battle casualties since the waning months of WWII.

I hope these guys get a chance to extract some payback.

To obtain the information from Keita, French authorities jumped out from behind him shouting "BOO", and scared the wits out of him. Of course, this is a really mean thing to do, and we should all write our congressmen to make sure that our intero-gators show better manners.
