That's SOP for a large percentage of FBI terrorism investigations that DON'T begin after an attack.

Whenever you read "FBI foiled plot", dig into it and you'll probably find similar behavior, or a CI who intentionally molded the terrorist for them.

This took place in Australia, so no FBI.

Well, shit.That's on me for not googling the story.

Luckily for me, the AFP is basically a junior FBI in regards to their aspirational goals of running a police state on behalf of the Aussie elite and Liberal party donor class.

NSW anti-terror police aren't far behind either, even if their brand of shitfuckery is a bit petty relative to the AFP, or FBI.
