According to Natalie O'Brien, reporting in The Australian (repost on News.com.au), Mamdouh Habib's defamation trial against Nationwide News in the NSW Supreme Court has revealed plans by an Algerian terrorist known as Abu Sheema and his associates Abu Ibrahim and Abu Yusef to launch a strike on a US facility somewhere in Australia, and that there were sleeper agents in Australia waiting.
"Mr Habib was arrested in Pakistan in early October 2001 on suspicion of terrorism offences as he was attempting to make his way back to Australia. He told the court he was regularly beaten, tortured and drugged during three years in detention in Pakistan, Egypt and Guantanamo Bay. Mr Habib was released in January 2005 and returned to Australia without being charged."
Interesting bits -- "{Abu Sheema} had told Mr Habib he had travelled in and out of Britain many times.... The interviews also revealed that Mr Habib had seen David Hicks, who was known as Abu Muslim, in Pakistan before he travelled to Afghanistan...."
