"[Kill] 500 personnel, or as many people as possible..."
Australia's Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that three convicted terrorists have been sentenced to 18 years each in their plot to kill as many Australian Army personnel, to include family members, as possible.
The trio, Wissam Mahmoud Fattal, Saney Edow Aweys and Nayef El Sayed, stood before Justice Betty King of the Australian state of Victoria's Supreme Court as they has their sentences read aloud.
Their target was the sprawling Holsworthy Army Barracks located southwest of Australia's largest city, Sydney.
During the course of the investigation and trial, it was uncovered that the three planned to storm the base armed with automatic weapons, then
"shoot 500 personnel, or as many people as possible, before they were killed or ran out of ammunition."
Sydney's Daily Telegraph reports that "Justice King said all three showed no remorse and had not renounced extremism."
