#1 two in one day - albeit continents apart. Wonder if they are connected at all.

#2 Note, pointedly there's no name given.
I agree, they're keeping a lid on, probably until the can round up accomplices.
Does make me wonder a bit, since Islamics have used unknowing and unwitting "Suicide" bombers before whether the woman knew or didn't know there was a bomb in her car.
We shall see.

#3 Australian cops are a lot more miserly with information than in the US. If they ever say you are "assisting police with their inquiries", God help you.

#4 CONCERNS have between raised in a Sydney court about the mental health of a 26-year-old woman charged with conspiracy to murder over an alleged public bomb plot.

Jill Courtney, of Casula, was arrested yesterday following raids on a number of south-west Sydney homes by NSW and the Australian Federal Police.
She has been charged with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause explosives to be placed in or near a public place between July 1 2005 and 24 March this year.

Courtney did not appear in a brief hearing at Parramatta Bail Court today, but her lawyer Adam Houda asked the matter be adjourned until Monday.

Mr Houda also asked that his client be assessed by a psychiatrist before that time.

"There is a little concern about her mental health," Mr Houda told Registrar Rosemary Davidson.

Bail was not applied for and was formally refused by Ms Davidson, who adjourned the matter to Sydney's Central Local Court on Monday, March 27

If she is a lone crazy, why the conspiracy charges?
