Operation Ironside: Australian police foil bikie gang assassination attempt

Published

The Australian police revealed a planned murder plot linked to Operation Ironside

The Australian police revealed two planned assassination attempts, both which they believe are linked to Operation Ironside.

The Comancheros bikie gang are allegedly behind one of the murder plots. The foiled plan included gunning down the target in a popular Adelaide cafe strip using a machine gun.

“The alleged victim was to be lured to a restaurant or cafe, and was to be gunned down when he left,” Assistant Commissioner Peter Harvey said.

Members of the Comancheros conspired to murder a man by “gunning him down” with a machine gun as he left a cafe on ‘The Parade’ in Adelaide, Australia

Police say the gang suspected the intended victim was a police informant

“The victim, according to our intelligence, was one of their own… It’s unbelievable the level of violence and distrust amongst this group,” Assistant Commissioner Harvey said.

Police say Comancheros members hid the gun in some bushes.

“It was hidden in bushes, and it was also accompanied by two fully-loaded magazines, 32 rounds, all set to go,” Assistant Commissioner Harvey said.

“There was also some petrol nearby, gloves et cetera. All the markings of hiding the evidence of the killing after it happened, in other words burning the motorbike.”

Another plot included assassinating a target in their suburban home.

The $148 million crackdown on organised crime

Earlier this week, Australian police cracked down on the international drug trafficking ring. Operation Ironside targeted an encrypted communications app, which police were secretly monitoring.

The sting has led to hundreds of arrests of organised crime figures in 18 different countries. Mafia bosses, bikies, South American drug cartels, Asian triads, Middle Eastern and European crime syndicates were all caught up in the sting.

Police said they uncovered 21 murder plots and seized more than 3,000 kilograms of drugs and $35 million in cash.

ABC originally reported this story.

Investigators intercepted 25 million messages sent on the ANOM, viewing the communications in real time.

300 search warrants were carried out across Australia on Monday night, with simultaneous stings in the US and Europe, according to reports from the ABC.

Police say they have exposed the secret relationships between bikies and syndicates who were thought to be enemies.

“This is a watershed moment in Australian law enforcement history”

Airbus faces manufacturing issues with A320 fuselage panels, impacting shares but confirming safety for in-service aircraft.


Airbus is confronting a fresh manufacturing issue after discovering a quality defect in several dozen fuselage panels used on A320-family jets. The revelation sparked investor concern, with shares falling by up to 10% as the news broke.

While the newly identified flaw has caused some delivery delays, Airbus confirms that aircraft already in service are safe and unaffected. The defect is limited to a specific batch of panels, and all new production now meets required standards.

The company has apologised for the disruption and says it is working closely with suppliers to prevent a repeat of the issue.
