Life Ain’t Easy For Boys Named Sue

Al-Qaeda operative in Australia were able to live out their fantasy of being teenage chicks while texting. Reports that they purchased and wore ladies underwear to throw off the Aussies were unconfirmed.

Reuters : SYDNEY (Reuters) - Nine Muslim men arrested in Australia's biggest security swoop, and charged with planning a terrorist act, pretended to be women texting girlfriends to secretly communicate, a prosecutor told a court on Friday.

"Hi babes, I'm missing you," one message read, while another said: "How you going love, did Sue want to meet me."

During a bail application for one of the men, Khaled Cheikho, 32, in the New South Wales Supreme Court, a prosecutor said the men used "covert phones" under false names and code to communicate, Australian Associated Press reported from the court.

One message between Cheikho and co-accused Mohammed Elomar referred to the purchase of some insulation tape allegedly used to make explosives, said prosecutor Wendy Abraham.

"Hello darling, could you let me know if you still have rolls of the silver tape," a message from Cheikho read.

So "Sue" I hope this experience helps you out when you get locked up with all those sweaty men and you have to play bitch to some big Aussie lifer. But look on the bright side, you already have your new names picked out.
