Mohammed Kiad and his buddy were living in a squalid granny flat while plotting to behead Australians.

The two men did not appear in court and asked not to be brought up from the cells at Fairfield Local Court, where Counter Terrorism Task Force detectives were in attendance, on Wednesday afternoon.

Police will allege the men were plotting to carry out an attack on Tuesday and had armed themselves with a machete and a hunting knife and made a video detailing their plans.

An image of the pair smoking shisha together – obtained from 25-year-old Kiad’s Facebook page – was uploaded in July, 2013.
