SNIPPET: "AUSTRALIA'S most notorious terrorist Willie Brigitte will be free from jail next year having served less than half his sentence for conspiring to blow up the nation's only nuclear reactor and the power grid.

The Caribbean-born Muslim convert made headlines in 2007 when he was sentenced in France to a maximum nine years, following his arrest in Sydney, for joining an al-Qaida-backed Pakistani terror cell out to bomb Lucas Heights nuclear plant, the national electricity grid or a military base.

The French Justice Ministry is considering releasing the 41-year-old, on an early-release good-behaviour plan."

.........shakes head.

There is NO WAY we’re going to win this.

Guess we’ll have to get used to suicide attacks.

Okay, honest to God... the first time I glanced at your headline, I accidentally read it as "FRENCH TO FREEZE OZ TERRORIST"; and my mind immediately conjured up this:

;)

This terrorist about to be free to inflict his wrath at will and the leadership wants respect the concept that he was an ideal prisoner so they are going to arrange his freedom, while they should be arranging a method to make his brain explode..

SNIPPET from the link in post no. 1: “After his arrest on immigration matters, Australian authorities realised he was under suspicion in France for terror activities. It was then revealed Brigitte had had military training in Pakistan and France with an al-Qaida backed group.

He had also spent time training in pariah state Yemen.”

Imagine that. I thought he was a character in the “Wicked” musical.

[FreedomOfExpression]

I thought it said “freeze” as well!
Well he IS behaving well, what could go wrong by releasing him early? /S

I wonder if we can extradite him to Australia - he’s never faced trial for his involvement in plots here and his co-accused got twenty years. Brigitte should get at least the same.

[Cindy]

I don’t know.

If he was extraditable, it would seem to me that Australia would put a hold on him.

As it stands right now, according to my reading; he is going to the Middle East when he leaves France.

SNIPPET: “Nine of the suspects, including Forsane Alizza leader Mohamed Achamlane, were ordered to be remanded in custody as police investigate their alleged crimes which include a plan to kidnap a judge, officials said.

Willie Brigitte, who was extradited from Australia in 2003 and jailed in France in 2007 for plotting an attack on Sydney’s Lucas Height’s nuclear reactor, was one of the men arrested in the raid last week. Brigitte was released from prison in 2009.”
