On July 18th, 48-year-old defendant Hamdi Al-Qudsi from New South Wales, Australia, appeared in court as he faced charges of creating a terrorist organization, known as the Shura, with the intention of carrying out domestic attacks. The Supreme Court's Crown prosecutor, Patricia McDonald, advised the court that Al-Qudsi allegedly created the Shura and acted as their leader from August through December 2014. Shura's intention from the beginning was to send combatants from Australia over to Syria to fight the coalition forces or government. McDonald attested to the jury that once the Australian Federal Police and NSW Police took action and interfered with Shura's plot by confiscating passports, the group realigned as domestic terrorists. The Shura and Al-Qudsi allegedly plotted attacks at several locations, including the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and Sydney Israeli embassy. The jury listened to more than 40 phone taps between Al-Qudsi and members of his Shura group and contacts in Syria. Al-Qudsi and his Shura group would use codes structured as "A-League soccer matches" whenever discussing plans for traveling to Syria. Al-Qudsi has pleaded "not guilty" to the charges. The trial is still in progress and is expected to take 5-6 weeks.
