Ruddock and Carr make a big deal out of a military court's findings in Lebanon where evidence is obtained under duress?Fascist Federal Attorney Phillip Ruddock has his tongue hanging out like a dog on heat because of the military court's decision in Lebanon where a Beruit court has jailed Saleh Jamal on terrorism charges allegedly taken while under duress?
But why does this mean so much to Ruddock? Because Ruddock, ASIO, the AFP and Bob Carr are desperate to find some evidence to prove that there is a link to Bilal Khazal, and Terror.
New South Wales Premier Bob Carr says a man charged over a shooting at a Sydney police station will be returned to Australia once he is released from jail in Lebanon.
Carr's desperate to prove that Saleh Jamal shot at the police station in Lakemba but the community is desperate to find out (if he did) why he did it? At that time the NSW police had set up War Lord like activities in Sydney's South West including Cabramatta.
Bilal Khazal, who has been charged with facilitating terrorism, was granted bail and will face a Sydney committal hearing in June? But like all the rest of those people held in "AA" isolation with the worst of the worst convicted Ruddock and his agencies have no concrete evidence unless it has relied on International findings in Military Court's or Third World Countries where evidence simply cannot be relied upon.
A court in Beruit has jailed Saleh Jamal for five years with hard labour for allegedly plotting subversive activity with individuals in Lebanon's Palestinian refugee camps?
He was arrested in Beirut but did Phillip Ruddock's links to Lebanon ensure he was charged there? Could he have influenced the decision made by the authorities? You Bet!
Pro-Government version: "He was arrested in Beirut and initially charged there with having links to Al Qaeda and for involvement in a bombing in Damascus in 2004, but those charges were dropped."?
In Australia, he is accused of involvement in a drive-by shooting at the Lakemba police station in New South Wales in 1998. But that doesn't mean he was guilty! He fled Australia on a false passport while on bail, but wouldn't you if you were a Muslim living in Australian in the context of the vilification and racism in this country? And if he were innocent and thought he was being set-up for a noble cause?
Carr says even though there is not a formal extradition treaty in place, arrangements have been made for Jamal to be returned to Sydney once he has served his sentence in Lebanon.
Perhaps Bob Carr should come clean on his real motive! Like the sensationalism of terror to promote his draconian Terrorism (Police Powers) Act 2002.
Carr: "I've been advised that Interpol has alerted the Lebanese authorities to the outstanding issues in Australia," Mr Carr said. "On his return to Australia, New South Wales police will present evidence to the courts alleging his involvement in the shooting of the Lakemba police station."
So that the feds can then go on and claim that Bilal Khazal is a terrorist even if the evidence linked to him is false and misleading! Right Bob?
In other developments:
Khazal jailed in Lebanon, bailed in Sydney?
Fascist Federal Attorney Phillip Ruddock has his tongue hanging out like a dog on heat because of the military court's decision in Lebanon where a Beruit court has jailed Saleh Jamal on terrorism charges allegedly taken while under duress?
Here we go again!
And Bilal Khazal, who has been charged with facilitating terrorism, was granted bail not 'awarded bail ' like he's won the lottery purported by HoWARd's ABC and Pro-Government Media and will face a Sydney committal hearing in June.
Up there Khasali: Innocent man new bail laws
The New South Wales Supreme Court has asked innocent man Bilal Khazal to increase to amount of surety offered, before the bail is formally continued.
ABC: "But he was today sentenced by a Beruit court to 15 years jail, without having to appear on charges of arranging false documents for another Australian who has been jailed in Lebanon."
Because Ruddock, ASIO, the AFP and Bob Carr are desperate to find some evidence to prove that there is a link to Bilal Khazal, and Terror.
Ruddock says Mr Khazal will not be extradited until he has faced an Australian court.
"There has been a request by Lebanese authorities for his extradition, that's still being processed," he said.
"But obviously, in the meantime, him being the subject of charges here, then he would not be free to be extradited."
