A suspected Pakistani terrorist, arrested in Australia, was reportedly plotting to black out the nation’s largest city Sydney with a bomb attack on power supplies. Faheem Khalid Lodhi, arrested on April 22, planned to use a home-made bomb made of ammonium nitrate fertiliser to attack the electricity grid and was ordering the required chemicals under bogus company names. The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that Lodhi hoped to disable the grid in Sydney, creating a blackout that would cause chaos in the city of four million people. Lodhi is the second member of a suspected terrorist cell arrested in a week after 21-year-old Pakistani-born medical student Izhar-ul-Haq. Both Lodhi and Haq were arrested as a result of investigations into terrorist suspect Willie Brigitte, a French national who was deported from Australia late last year, and is being detained by authorities in France who believe that he was setting up a terrorist cell in Sydney. Both Brigitte and Haq allegedly have links to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which was designated as a terrorist organisation in Australia during November 2003.
