Brothers Jailed in Australia for ISIS Plane Bomb Plot Foiled by Israel
(ABC-Australia) Jamie McKinnell - Khaled Khayat, 51, and Mahmoud Khayat, 34, planned to bring down an Etihad Airways flight to Abu Dhabi with a bomb hidden in the luggage of a third brother, Amer, who was to unwittingly carry it onto the plane. The plot also involved another brother, Tarek Khayat, a senior member of Islamic State overseas, who was known as "the controller." In the months leading up to the attack, components of the explosive were posted from Turkey to Australia. The plot was uncovered thanks in part to a tip-off from Israeli authorities.
