It has been previously reported that he is facing nine charges and is accused of planning a major terrorist attack on Sydney defence sites and the electricity grid using downloads off the internet and having 100 rolls of toilet paper to wipe his arse after low level bombs and farts. Shit! |

More details have been revealed about the extent of security which will be in place for pre-trial hearings for a Sydney man, made a scapegoat for the war on terror, (which is terror) and facing terrorism charges.
Faheem Khalid Lodhi is scheduled to stand trial next year on charges of planning for a terrorist attack and pre-trial hearings will begin in the Supreme Court in Sydney next week.
It has been previously reported that he is facing nine charges and is accused of planning a major terrorist attack on Sydney defence sites and the electricity grid using downloads off the internet and having 100 rolls of toilet paper to wipe his arse after low level bombs and farts. Shit!
Prosecutors have told the court today that the Attorney-General is expected to issue a certificate, declaring that some evidence is prejudicial to national security, and they will ask the judge to hear it in a closed court.
He doesn't want to be embarrassed in public? Or he's just winding up the fear factor to make it seem real?
The court was told the director-general of security has provided a list of recommendations, including that all court staff be security cleared, the court room checked for listening devices and a ban put on mobile telephones.
Justice Anthony Whealy told prosecutors that he would deal with the issues as they arose and he wanted as much of the trial as possible to be held in an open court.

Lodhi toilet paper: crap!
Lodhi's legal team have opposed the application, saying it was unacceptable that they were not given notice that it would be made. After reading a confidential document supporting the Government's application, lawyers for Lodhi said it was clear there was evidence they were yet to receive that they needed to cross-examine witnesses.

Here we go round the scapegoat bush!
Now how do you secure 18 men on false and misleading charges made during a 'scapegoat' 'fishing expedition' last month? You get some poor soul locked up in a military prison in Lebanon to verbal them by offering him a bribe! Shame hoWARd, shame on you!

Are these court cases listed? It'd be interested to get an *INDY* reporter down to them.
Alas I'm in perth, but I figure one of you guys 'd get into it.
All court reporting takes is a notepad, a pen and some coloured pencils (even if you are A *CRAP* artist, I still recoment sketching the courtroom. Trust me, your recolection of the case will be superior!)
