ZitatAustralian counterterrorism forces detained 15 people Thursday in a series of suburban raids after receiving intelligence that the Islamic State militant group was planning public beheadings in two Australian cities to demonstrate its reach.
About 800 federal and state police officers raided more than a dozen properties across 12 Sydney suburbs as part of the operation -- the largest in Australian history, Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Andrew Colvin told the Associated Press. A sword was removed as part of evidence at one of the homes.
Separate raids in the eastern cities of Brisbane and Logan were also conducted.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that the plan involved kidnapping randomly selected members of the public off the streets in Sydney and Brisbane, beheading them on camera, and releasing the recordings through Islamic State's propaganda arm in the Middle East.
"This is not just suspicion, this is intent and that's why the police and security agencies decided to act in the way they have," Abbott added.
The arrests come just days after the country raised its terror warning to the second-highest level in response to the domestic threat posed by supporters of ISIS.
"Police believe that this group that we have executed this operation on today had the intention and had started to carry out planning to commit violent acts here in Australia," Colvin said. "Those violent acts particularly related to random acts against members of the public. So what we saw today and the operation that continues was very much about police disrupting the potential for violence against the Australian community at the earliest possible opportunity."
The story goes on to discuss that the Aussy muslem population wasn't too happy. I bet.
Personally I'm at the point (if any of you in the PC crowd are offended, sorry, not apologizing) that when we catch these perps they are the ones who should face a beheading. And then we soak their bodies in pig fat prior to burial. Make sure all the ISIL perps see that this is their end by putting it on You Tube. I realize of course that the politically correct idiots would protest which is why there is no doubt this will come to America, and here, they'll probably succeed.

cg, you and I are kindred spirits.
In my opinion there is no treatment too harsh for these Muhammadan animals.
There has been a certain motivational poster circulating the internet for years. I've heard the validity of its contents are in question, but nevertheless, it warms the cockles of my heart every time I see it.

Actually, I'd rather build a large, cylindrical tank, fill it with pig's blood, and drown 'em in it, facing away from Mecca. Then leave them unburied for a few days, under the pig corpses before burying them in a hole, with the pigs. Video it all, and run it on a hack on Al Jazeera, 24/7.
