Muslim terrorist attack in Australia
News just breaking that over 500 police are involved in raids mainly in Melbourne this morning, It appears that there where advanced plans by some Muslim group to blow up the army barracks in Sydney "and kill as many as we can" of the soldiers who have been fighting alongside the USA forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
More details I guess when they are released -

Re: Muslim terrorist attack in Autralia
A PLOT by Islamic extremists in Melbourne to launch a suicide attack on an Australian Army base has been uncovered by national security agencies.
Federal and state police, armed with search warrants, swooped on members of the suspected terror cell this morning, as they seek to arrest Australian nationals of Somali and Lebanese background in what will be the second-largest counter-terrorism operation in the nation's history. From the Australian About 400 police raided homes in the northern Melbourne suburbs of Glenroy, Meadow Heights, Roxburgh Park, Broadmeadows, Westmeadows, Preston and Epping. They also raided homes at Carlton in inner Melbourne and Colac in southwestern Victoria. "Police believe members of a Melbourne-based group have been undertaking planning to carry out a terrorist attack in Australia and allegedly involved in hostilities in Somalia,'' a joint police statement said. The men are expected to be charged with a range of terrorism-related offences. Authorities believe the group is at an advanced stage of preparing to storm an Australian Army base, using automatic weapons, as punishment for Australia's military involvement in Muslim countries. It is understood the men plan to kill as many soldiers as possible before they are themselves killed.

Re: Muslim terrorist attack in Autralia
You think they limit themselves to only attack the USA?
Of all the people, and of course of all things, to misspell!

This Army base near (near where I live BTW) had notoriously poor gate security, though they have upgraded it recently. I am wondering Felix if your bases in the USA are considered easy targets still?

Re: Muslim terrorist attack in Autralia
Interesting about the Somalia connection. It seems violence is that country's #1 export.
We busted some alleged American terrorists in North Carolina last week. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...RBk-wD99S6GQO0

Re: Muslim terrorist attack in Autralia
Anything is an easy target with proper training, determination, and plethora of equipment available. However, to the average person, the gates here are more than adequate to handle most situations.

Re: Muslim terrorist attack in Autralia
That is good to hear. Ours are just a crappy boom gate with private unarmed (ie - cheap) security. Basically a piece of wood and a old fat guy with a clipboard. A complete joke

We have a compilation of Federal police officers, DOD police officers, MP, and contract security officers. All are armed, trained, and non-MP must qualify at "French range" monthly (that's where I shoot). The sergeant of the guard has real time video feeds from 500m out, down to 25m, and has the control board that will lift a barrier capable of stopping a standard US semi-truck with trailer doing 45 MPH (rapidly). The speed deterrent devices (bumps) prevent anything controllably faster than about 10 MPH. All three gates have identical equipment, but different lay outs. AND, since we have "The Depository", we have an added bonus of US Mint police and their "state-of-the-art" equipment which can be seen on occasion at the Bullion gate (the one I use).
