CANBERRA/ MELBOURNE/ BRISBANE/ KARACHI: Grudgingly but cravingly and secretly, at last, the Australian regime and ‘authorities’ especially Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and Special Forces have started to deem the ‘reporting’ of Press Media of India (PMI) and one of world’s most credible Pakistani newspapers known as “Messenger” regarding the news, views, stories, exclusive information and analyses which have been publishing, highlighting, flashing, printing and forwarding during the last thirty years frequently that “what is terrorism, how and why it happen, who are terrorists, who are their creators, trainers, financers, facilitators, campaigners, supporters and supervisors, where they live, how they behave and act and what is going on and what would be happened in future across the world,” sources claimed.

The regimes and LEAs of Australia as well as the United States of America (USA), France, Iraq, Germany, Afghanistan, United Kingdom (UK), Yemen, New Zealand, Syria, Canada, Pakistan, Italy, Belgium, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Norway, Bahrain, Russia, India and many other countries have been collecting, analyzing, proofing, matching and archiving the reporting of PMI and Messenger but neither the concerned regimes and authorities particularly LEAs were taking the said coverage seriously nor giving wait to them but when they realized that the said exposures have been proving hundred percent correct and truth with all sensitivities of locations, characters, days, times and dates, then on extraordinary public pressures and some other reasons, the said countries started to take notices, sources added.

Australia has become the third world’s most dangerous country just because of insincerity and abnormality of politicians and rulers, non-professionalism and incompetency of LEAs and Security Forces, biasness and corruption of some ‘White People’ particularly ‘Aussies’, unemployment of foreigners and migrants, lack of sources, worst and inhuman immigration policies, lack of skilled and professional experts, greediness of personnel belong to secret services and mainly anti-Islamic, anti-Muslims, non-Whitish and anti-Arab and Asian attitude and behavior of present Morrison government, sources and victims revealed anonymity.

Dozens of victims, members of aggrieved families, experts, psychiatrics, educationists, philosophers, intellectuals, immigrants and other people living in Australia as well as out of country including sources told PMI on anonymity conditions that the present situation of Australia and Australians have become worst while it seems that if the present condition remains same, the entire situation would become out of control.

According to sources, two men have been charged in Melbourne and Brisbane by counter-terrorism police for their alleged involvement in running a “sophisticated terrorist network” on the basis PMI and Messenger’s tips.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) said the network allegedly facilitated the travel of a number of Australian foreign terrorist fighters to Syria between 2012 and 2013.

Ahmed Talib, 31, from Melbourne, and Gabriel Crazzi, 34, from Brisbane, allegedly played “senior roles” in a south-east Queensland-based syndicate, which maintained a “religiously motivated violent extremist ideology and a desire to travel to Syria to engage in hostile activities”.

Police allege Talib, a gemstone trader from Doncaster East, used his family business to move money for terrorists, including Australia’s first suicide bomber.

In 2013, the network allegedly funded Australia’s first suicide bomber, Ahmed Succarieh, who killed 35 people at a military checkpoint in Syria.

The Queensland Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT), with assistance from the Victoria JCTT, arrested the two men yesterday.

Talib’s Doncaster East home was raided in front of his wife and young children.

While a property in Chambers Flat, south of Brisbane, was also swooped on by police.

“We seized $80,000 in cash, a number of gemstones of high-value, also various electronic devices that we will examine over the next period,” Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commander Stephen Dametto from the Counter-Terrorism and Special Investigations Command said.

Police allege the two men developed networks in Australia, Turkey and Syria that were used by Australian foreign terrorist fighters to enter Syria, in order to join terrorist organizations, including Jabhat al-Nusra, and engage in “hostile activities” against Syrian government forces.

Crazzi, a Queensland dog trainer from Logan, south of Brisbane, has been hit with charges including one count of incursions into foreign states with the intention of engaging in hostile activities, as well as one count of engaging in a hostile activity in a foreign state.

The maximum penalty for these offences is 20 years in jail.

The 34-year-old has also been charged with four counts of preparations for foreign incursions into foreign states for the purpose of engaging in hostile activities.

He is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates’ Court today.

Talib has been charged with one count of preparations for foreign incursions into foreign states for the purpose of engaging in hostile activities.

The maximum penalty if convicted is 10 years’ imprisonment.

He appeared in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court yesterday and is facing extradition to Queensland.

The AFP said the arrests were almost a decade in the making.

Commander Dametto today said more people may be arrested in future, but reassured the public there was no “imminent threat” to the community.

“We believe there could be up to seven individuals, some are overseas,” he said.

“Today is an example of our commitment to discourage Australians from fighting overseas and holding people to account for their involvement in supporting terrorism and terrorist organizations.”

Talib had also been “designated by the US government” in regards to financial sanctions by their Department of Treasury for material support to Al-Qaeda, Commander Dametto said.

“I want to make clear that we and our partners take all extremist groups seriously,” he said.

“We target the criminality regardless of the background of the perpetrators … we do not target ideology or the background of individuals.”
