Convert to Islam and see the world:
At least three Australians with suspected links to al-Qaeda are facing terrorist charges after being arrested in Yemen for alleged arms smuggling.
A foreign affairs department spokesman in Canberra confirmed reports from Yemen that Australian passport-holders were among eight foreigners arrested in Yemen …
Government sources in the Yemeni capital said that all eight had converted to Islam earlier this yearand received religious instruction in Yemen.
Apparently the Yemeni three are all from NSW.

- Very noticeable that ABC radio this morning repeatedly referred to these guys as “Australian passport holders”, rather than “Australians” or “Aussies” or “dinky-di you beaut,little rip-snorter Vegemites”, which is normally the case when some guy called, er, Ahmed or Jihad, who got his passport two weeks ago, is found doing something naughty in the Middle-East.Posted by cuckoo on 2006 10 29 at 08:32 PM • permalink
- How many of these “converts” became so while “convicts”?
Just curious…

- These lads have been in custody since last Wednesday.I hope their treatment in the Sanaa slam is better than that enjoyed by that little Aussie icon,Dave Hicks,in Gitmo but somehow I suspect that by about now they’d be happy to part with their left testicals to win a transfer to that happy holiday camp.That’s of course if they have any testicals left with which to part.
- ABC radio would have more accurately described them as Labor voters.Posted by Wylie Wilde on 2006 10 29 at 09:58 PM • permalink
- It’s also been all over the radio that Paul Keating is apparently refusing to answer any questions about the Catmeat Sheek.
I am so hanging out for the evening news circus.
This is (almost) better than chocolate!

Yes, just when Keating had climbed out of the cupboard and felt obliged to comment on everything – from interest rates, to uranium mining, to NK getting the bomb, to ‘balance’ at the ABC, BINGO! His Hilaly disgrace rears it’s ugly head and has sent the creep scurrying back to hide in the cupboard.Beauty is, whenever he emerges, the press will be there to ask him all about it. This could become for Keating what ‘sorry’ is to Howard. How delicious. Should shut him up for ages.
- #14 Bonmot.He’s back out and wearing his Town Planners hat.The SMH website reports that he has emerged to deliver a withering attack on architects,developers and State Planning Minister Sartor likening new residential apartment buildings to egg-crates.He won rapturous applause from brain dead Local Government Councillors attending their Associations annual taxpayer funded eating and boozing competition at Leura.He referred to Sartor who was in the audience as “the Mayor for (developer Harry) Triguboff”.Not bad coming from the former de-facto Minister for Immigration for al-Hilali.

Keating was a rock band manager and I read prior to that, the little shit used to sell TIES at Farmers (now Myers), cnr Market & George Sts. TIES – maybe that’s where ol’ crap mouth got his bizarre taste in ZEGNA suits. Incidentally, with his narrow shoulders and sunken chest, his ZEGNA suits would have looked better on Con The Fruiterer than him. Keating’s build and shape and posture always reminded me of Don Knotts. The stupidity bit was a good match too. But not funny. How people ever bought that aesthete bullshit from a bloke with a mouth worse than a bullock driver sure beats me. Syncophants, that’s it. Syncophants. Bloody Mahler for God sake. Hold on while I puke!
- one of them born in Poland, who became an Australian citizen during the 1980s.
Born into tyranny in Jaruzelski’s Poland, you flee to Australia to be welcomed with open arms, then you repay your adopted country by becoming a 7th century head hacking, genocidal, barbaric, goat raping nutter. Well done!
- Lets hope the Australian government won’t be rushing to help them. I believe Yemen has been known to execute terrorists as well. Oh what a pity.Posted by Andrew Ian Dodge on 2006 10 30 at 05:22 AM • permalink
- Lets send the Sheik of Shite over to help them out like he did Douglas Woods.
While he’s over there, cancel all 4 passports and let the black hearted MOFO’s rot.

- #28 Wizard of Woz.The Sheik appears to have moved too slowly,Adam Houda has grabbed the brief.The family of the two “Anglo-Saxon” brothers has engaged the services of the Lebanese Muslim Association mover and shaker and lawyer of choice of a number of terror-inclined locals.Houda has described the brothers as “devout law abiding Muslims” (remarkably he doesn’t mention the word moderate) who had recently gone to Yemen to further their religious instruction.As might be expected Adam also reveals that the family is very upset and “they believe there is no doubt the Australian Government is responsible”.There does appear however to be some doubt concerning the “Anglo” element as their father is said to be Indonesian.The best news from Adam is that there was concern that they might be tortured.
