Amer Khayat had been estranged from two of his other brothers, Mahmoud and Khaled, in Sydney before they sought him out in mid-2017 and urged him to visit relatives in Beirut. They even gave him money for the ticket.
Two juries in Australia have now determined that those gifts included bombs hidden in a meat grinder and a doll.The tribunal in Beirut held that Amer Khayat knew nothing of this and flew on an Etihad flight to Abu Dhabi and then on to Beirut. Amer Khayat was detained shortly afterwards in Lebanon and even though the Australian Federal Police said he had been duped by his brothers, who were Islamic State supporters, he has been held in Roumieh prison ever since.Khaled Khayat was convicted over the bomb plot earlier this year. Mahmoud Khayat was convicted in Sydney late yesterday. The ABC broke that news to Fadi Khayat at Roumieh prison."None of my brothers are related to this.

AFP flies to Afghanistan to investigate alleged Australian war crimesAustralian Federal Police investigators have travelled to Afghanistan to investigate war crimes allegedly committed by Australian special forces soldiers. A waste of time without a body as they can't establish the angle of the bullet entry, which would confirm if he was shot while in an elevated spotting position, or thrown from it then shot. Two equally plausible stories with the truth hinging on a detailed forensic analysis. When Australians get killed in times of conflict they’re are casualties of war.
