Aussie electrician charged with helping ISIS develop missile capabilities

Breitbart: Feb. 28 (UPI) — An Australian electrician was arrested in New South Wales on Tuesday for allegedly working to help the Islamic State militant group co-opt the capability to detect enemy missiles in-flight, authorities said.

Haisem Zahab was arrested in the town of Young, located in NSW’s southwest, and booked on multiple terror-related charges.

Investigators said Zahab spent considerable time researching online to design a laser warning device capable of seeing incoming missiles used by coalition forces in Syrian and Iraqi combat theaters. He then purportedly passed on what federal police called “fairly sophisticated and well-planned” information to the Islamic State.  read more

  1. Ok, I’ll admit that from time to time you’ll find a fellow toiling in a blue collar job only to find he was building a satellite in his basement but in this case I find it pretty hard to believe an electrician (not an Electrical Engineer mind you) could create, even with lots of Internet research, anything that could be called “fairly sophisticated and well-planned” in the area of missile detection systems. Hell, he was apparently also designing a ballistic missile system for ISIL. There’s no doubt that this guy is a terrorist but I wonder whether the authorities touched up his resume a touch for the press.

  2. this Filthy Mohammedan Savage was probably able to cobble together a Clock-Med style laser detector with components from a car’s Cobra radar/ laser detector.

    That being said, it’s a fact that no Filthy Mohammedan Savage ever invented a single fucking thing. If a Filthy Mohammedan Savage ever had an original idea and a cold drink of water at the same time, it would kill the Filthy Mohammedan Savage dead.
