SYDNEY, Dec 20: A Pakistan-born architect convicted of plotting a “jihad” bombing campaign in Australia had his appeal dismissed on Thursday.
Faheem Khalid Lodhi was sentenced to 20 years jail in August 2006 after a jury found him guilty of planning to blow up the electrical grid in Australia’s biggest city.
Lodhi was convicted of preparing for a terrorist act by seeking information about chemicals capable of making explosives.
He was also found guilty of possessing a “terrorism manual” and of buying two maps of the Sydney electricity grid in preparation for a terrorist act.—AFP
