He said it was Ibrahim Abbas, the ringleader of the group who was jailed last year after admitting the plot, who suggested an attack."I wanted to be the hero of the group ... I wanted to be the cool guy of the group."

Mohamed was arrested over the plot in December 2016, and he said for up to three months after he continued to support Islamic State.He was upset about the group's lack of acknowledgment after his arrest."I felt they turned their back on me. I thought they would say a statement." Mohamed and Chaarani are already serving up to 22 years in prison after being convicted of a separate terror attack, setting fire to a mosque in Melbourne's north in the weeks before the planned Christmas Day attack.

Chaarani's lawyer Patrick Tehan QC earlier today called on Justice Christopher Beale not to impose a "crushing sentence" on the trio.All three are aged in their 20s, were clearly radicalised and would spend a significant period behind bars, but the judge should "really look at what is not going to be crushing to these young men", he said.

Lock them up for ever

Inflation

Isn’t just being dumb and ignorant enough these days?

Who are these “friends” and why haven’t that been deported?

Too bad

What a load of shit

Julian Burnside will have this guy's dick in his mouth before you can say 'misplaced white guilt virtue signal'. Can't wait for Waleed's teary monologue either...🤮

People also need to realize that ISIS is not based on Islamic principles. Knowledge is power..dont go off media either otherwise there is no point using ur brain u will become a product of influence

Recognise what is bad company and leave..you are either better off alone or you will find better

This is the case for many youth - peer pressure

This is the result of hanging with wrong company. Ofcourse they will desert you in the end. You dont need to fit in to be the cool guy. Ahmed Mohamed got what he deserved and this becomes a lesson for all.

Just send him back to Lebanon and take his housing commissions house

Wait!...are you saying there's an actual connection with Islam (even though you didn't actually say it) and maybe it's not 'mental illness' after all ? 🤔
