Men accused of Christmas Day terror plot facing charge over mosque blaze.

ISLAMIC extremists allegedly behind a Christmas Day terror plot to blow up the heart of Melbourne allegedly set fire to a suburban mosque to intimidate innocents who did not share their dangerous views, police believe.

Investigators will allege the men — Ahmed Mohamed, 24, and Abdullah Chaarani, 26, along with an accomplice — were responsible for Islamic-State-inspired arson attacks at a mosque in Fawkner, in Melbourne’s north.

Heavily armed police swooped in to arrest their alleged associate, Meadow Heights man Hatim Moukhaiber, 29, late on Saturday night.

Police allege the three men set fire to the Imam Ali Islamic Centre on December 11 last year.

Graffiti reading “Islamic State” had also been painted on the wall of the centre, which is a place of worship for the Shia community.

Mr Mohamed and Mr Chaarani — who remain in custody awaiting trial over the Christmas Day allegations — will also be charged over a November fire at the centre.

Counter-terrorism police believe the men shared an extremist Sunni ideology.

Mr Moukhaiber — who was already known to police — had been under watch for months before the Special Operations Group surrounded his car as he drove with a group of others, including a child, in Roxburgh Park.


St Pauls Cathedral was one of the targets in the alleged Christmas Day plot.
Police were not looking for anyone else over the attacks and assured Melbourne’s Shia community there was no further threat.

Flinders St station, Federation Square and St Paul’s Cathedral were allegedly major targets of a plot to cause mass casualties in the CBD last Christmas.

It’s alleged common household goods were stockpiled at the Meadow Heights home of the group’s suspected ringleader to fuel the deadly blast.

Mr Moukhaiber’s family home was in Manna Ct, Meadow Heights — the same street in which Mr Mohamed had lived in a bungalow which was raided last December.

Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Ian McCartney said police would allege IS had a “strong influence” on the men.

Investigators had not uncovered evidence IS had directed the group to attack.

“They (the fires) were inspired and designed to influence and put fear into a particular group,” Mr McCartney said.

Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Ross Guenther said the methodology of IS was to cause division within the community. “The impact of something like this on the Shia community here is significant … it interferes with the whole process of social cohesion, which we so heavily promote,” Mr Guenther said.

The men, who could face life in prison if found guilty, are expected to face court tomorrow.
