Terror accused denied visit to dying mum

Thu May 29 2008



A man facing terrorism charges has been refused permission for further visits to the hospital bedside of his dying mother, the NSW Department of Corrective Services says.

Mohamed Ali Elomar is one of nine men facing terrorism related charges being held under tight security in NSW.

A corrective services spokeswoman said the NSW Supreme Court granted Elomar, who is on remand, permission to visit his mother on Wednesday.

Elomar is being held at the Metropolitan Remand Centre at Silverwater, in Sydney's west.

The court refused Elomar's application for a second visit to see his mother.

"He applied to the Supreme Court to visit his mother and the court granted his release on compassionate grounds on Wednesday and the Department of Corrective Services Commissioner therefore directed to allow him out to see his mother and then he was returned to custody," the corrective services spokeswoman said.

"He applied again today and was knocked back, I understand. His mother is dying."

Elomar was accompanied by heavily armed officers during his visit to Bankstown Hospital, the Seven Network reported.

Mohamed Ali Elomar, Bradley Umar Sariff Baladjam, Khaled Cheikho, Moustafa Cheikho, Abdul Rakib Hasan, Mohammed Omar Jamal, Mirsad Mulahalilovic, Khaled Sharrouf and Mazen Touma are accused of conspiring with each other, and others, to do acts in preparation for a terrorist act or acts.
