Melbourne next Terror target
Not sure if this has already been posted

I am surprised that it's Melbourne, felt sure it would be Sydney or Canberra.

True, that does come as a surprise. Perhaps they've decided that alfresco cafes are haram. 
Still, they did mention LA as well, so we might have a bit of breathing space while they kick the Yanks again.

Maybe the terrorists are offended by the fed Square building????...not overly attractive (from my point of view!).

Perhaps they're planning to hit Jeff's Shed...

I would have also suggested the monstrosity which is Southern Cross Station (currently Spencer Street), but if the popularity of the recent open day was anything to go by, the terrorists would not even know it exists!!
