(Age) Two convicted terrorists who firebombed a mosque, amid planning an Islamic State-inspired attack on Melbourne landmarks, are to spend at least 28 years in prison after losing appeals against their convictions.
Ahmed Mohamed and Abdullah Chaarani were last year found guilty of torching a Shiite mosque in Fawkner in December 2016 in what was a sectarian terror act aimed at advancing their devotion to extreme Sunni Islam.
They were each jailed for 38 years, to serve 28 years before they are eligible for parole, as they had also been earlier sentenced for planning a terror attack on Federation Square and nearby landmarks, intended for Christmas 2016.
