On their way to be sentenced, five Muslim men travel to an Australian court. They've been found guilty of plotting terror attacks between July 2004 and November 2005. The men aged between 25 and 44 were sentenced to jail.
[Anthony Whealy, NSW Supreme Court Justice]:
"The fanaticism and extremist position taken by each offender countenance the possibility of loss of life if that were to occur."
Police said they were happy with the outcome.
[Tony Negus, Australian Federal Police Commissioner]:
"This is a substantial case for Australia, this is a substantial terrorism trial and really the police involved from the New South Wales Police, the AFP and the other agencies involved such as ASIO need to be congratulated."
[Peter Dein, NSW Counter Terrorism Command]:
"Complacency is a very important word in this business of counter-terrorism; it is something that we need to be very careful about in Australia."
The men were also found guilty of stockpiling weapons and chemicals to make bombs in retaliation to Australia's role in Iraq and Afghanistan.
