Men plead not guilty to plotting attack on Holsworthy army base

FOUR men accused of planning a terrorist attack on the Holsworthy army base have today been ordered to stand trial.

In a surprise move, defence lawyers for the four men have opted to go straight to trial rather than having a preliminary committal hearing to test the evidence.

The four men - Abdirahman Mohamud Ahmed, Saney Edow Aweys, Wissam Mahmoud Fattal Yacub Khayre - all pleaded not guilty this morning and were remanded to appear before the Supreme Court..

Another man, Nayef El Sayed, did not enter a plea today and is likely to face a committal hearing next May.
