Convicted Terrorist Leave Sydney Using Brothers Passport

[icyfroth]

• It is believed Khaled Sharrouf is now in Syria
• He used his brother’s passport to leave Australia
• He fled despite being on airport watchlists and being under 24hr surveillance
• Sharrouf is one of the “terror nine” arrested in 2005

A CONVICTED terrorist used his brother’s passport to fool Customs officers and board a flight for Syria, exposing grave security gaps at Sydney international airport.

Despite not having a passport in his name, being on airport watchlists around the country and being under 24-hour surveillance as part of a counter-terror investigation, Khaled Sharrouf walked onto a Kuala Lumpur flight under the nose of Customs on December 6 and has since disappeared.

The 31-year-old father-of-four, one of the most recognisable names in law enforcement, is one of the “terror nine” arrested in the landmark Operation Pendennis investigation in 2005 which thwarted a planned attack on an unspecified target in Sydney.

It seems all sorts of people can just come and go at random in and out of this fair land of ours (anybodys).

Good call Crikey----lock the brother up for letting him use the passpost.

The brother probably works for customs.

If he was a convicted terrorist, why wasn't he in jail?

His brother should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting a convicted terrorist.

Done his time in jail.

Khaled Sharrouf, who served almost four years in prison after pleading guilty over a 2005 conspiracy to attack Sydney.

Sharrouf, 31, had his passport confiscated and has been on international watchlists since his release from prison in 2009.

He pleaded guilty to committing acts in preparation for a terrorist act by possessing clocks and batteries to be used in a bomb blast as part of the so-called “Terror Nine” conspiracy, which resulted in Australia’s largest-ever terrorism trial and the conviction of nine men.

Sharrouf served three years and 11 months in jail for his part in the plot.

He wasn't in jail because the authorities hoped he would lead them to other terrorists.It worked.He's in Syria now.

[affordablelouvres2010]

Do we really know he went to Syria??? His plan was to attack Australia!! We didn't know what he was up to when he was in Australia so don't tell me know what he got up to once he left, it took two weeks for the authorities to notice he went.

 All we know is he went to Kuala Lumpur and now a plane leaving Kuala Lumpur has gone missing.......coincidence??? maybe he hijacked that and was going to fly it into some buildings in Australia????

The whole family should be investigated and charged for aiding a criminal they all knew was going about to flee the country. Just saying he took his brothers p/port without the brother knowing beggars belief.

Brothers for Life anyone?
