Hell's Angels bikies 'building
bazookas'
From:
May 31, 2006
HELL'S Angels bikies in the Northern
Territory are involved in the production of rocket launchers, a bikie source
says.
The source claims an associate of the
Hell's Angels bikie gang in Darwin has produced rocket launchers in the
rural area.
It is claimed the associate obtained a copy of The Terrorists Handbook
down-loaded from the internet.
The 150-page dossier details how bombs
and explosives can be made, and includes instructions on what materials are
required to build a rocket launcher.
A bikie source alleges the
manufacturer of the weapons is making rocket launchers in an industrial shed
complete with a machine press.
NT Police are aware of the allegations
but have declined to comment on whether officers have interviewed the
associate alleged to be involved.
Police media manager Sue Bradley would only say that, "it is Special
Operations Section policy not to comment on operational issues such as this
pertaining to any high-risk crime group or their associates".
It is not the first time that the Hell's Angels in Darwin have been linked
to the manufacturing, buying or selling of rocket launchers.
In May 2003, a rocket launcher was believed to have been among a cache of
weapons seized during raids on residences and premises of the Hell's Angels
motorcycle gang.
Also understood to have been seized during those raids were police-issue
pistols and a substantial quantity of amphetamines.
