PERTH: An Iraqi refugee pleaded not guilty in an Australian court Thursday to plotting to murder members of Saddam Hussein's deposed Baathist government in Iraq. Khairallah al-Bunajim, 40, denied conspiring to commit wilful murder in the Republic of Iraq. The court heard that al-Bunajim's father and brother were killed by Baathists in 1991 and the plot was intended to avenge their deaths. Police alleged he transferred 3,000 dollars (2,280 US) to an unnamed person in Sydney, with instructions to pass it on to Iraq to buy arms and a vehicle to carry out the planned assassinations. The intended targets of the plot were not named. Al-Bunajim was arrested at his Perth home on July 15 following an investigation involving Australian Federal Police counter-terrorism teams in Perth and Sydney, state police and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.
| I really sympathize, Khairallah, but you're not in Iraq anymore. You have to play by the local rules. |
