(NCA NewsWire) One of the men who helped plot a Christmas Day terror attack to behead and bomb people at an iconic Melbourne location is arguing the jury verdict was “unsafe and unsatisfactory.”
Hamza Abbas was found guilty of committing an act in preparation of a terrorist attack where he together with three others plotted to behead people and set off bombs in a shocking attack at Federation Square in 2016.
He was jailed for 22 years with a non-parole period of 16 years and six months following a trial in 2019.
The plot was foiled days before Christmas because police were listening and watching Abbas along with his co-conspirators Ibrahim Abbas, Abdullah Chaarani and Ahmed Mohamed as they scouted the location.
