Iraqi suicide terrorists asylum seekers failed to con Australia authorities. Their scam is simple, jump on a boat to Australia and sink the boat near to Australia and get ready to be picked up by Australia rescuers and wala, you have made Australia your home. Only this time, the Australians were not fooled and most of the terrorists are drowned. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Australia did a great job of stopping the infiltration of terrorists from Iraq.

Business ExchangeBuzz up!DiggPrint Email .Thirty Iraqi, Iranian and Kurdish asylum seekers are confirmed dead after their wooden boat bound for Australia sank in heavy seas close to Christmas Island.
There were 42 survivors from the accident two days ago and the total number of passengers on the boat is unclear, a customs statement said. Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who returned from leave after the incident, said police were questioning three Indonesian crew and it was unlikely more survivors would be found.
“There are three Indonesian crew members among the survivors and they are being interviewed by the Australian Federal Police,” Gillard told reporters in Sydney today. “It remains unclear exactly how many people were on the vessel and we may never know that number with precision.”
About 145 Australian customs, police and medical officers will today continue the search and salvage operation, the government said in a statement. An identification unit has been set up for the victims and there will be a coronor’s inquest.
A total of 353 people drowned in 2001 during a bid to reach Australia when the 19-meter Siev-X sank in waters south of Indonesia with only 44 survivors.
Christmas Island, about 1,600 miles (2,600 kilometers) northwest of Perth, houses a center for people claiming refugee status. Almost 6,400 asylum seekers from countries including Iraq and Sri Lanka have arrived by boat in Australia this year, up from 2,726 in 2009.
