AN Australian-born man known to authorities for his radical Islamic views has been arrested and charged over an alleged near-fatal shooting outside a sex club in Sydney's north west earlier this year.
Goulburn Courthouse confirmed Milad Bin Ahmad Shah al-Ahmadzai, 23, was arrested this morning over the shooting of a 52-year-old man outside the Aarows nightclub on Bridge Street, Rydalmere on May 1.
The establishment is a 24-hour gay, bisexual and swingers club.
He is expected to appear in court this afternoon.
The victim - who told police his attackers were completely unknown to him - sustained significant injuries, including extensive damage to his back, foot, and groin - he had been shot several times in the carpark of the club by two men, with CCTV capturing the entire incident.
Ahmadzai has been under investigation by the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad's Strike Force Maloney.
He was charged this morning with shoot with intent to murder, discharge firearm with intent to cause grievous bodily, assault in company with intent to rob while armed with a dangerous weapon, steal motor vehicle, damage property by fire and take/drive conveyance without consent of owner.
The stealing motor vehicle charge relates to cars that were stolen and used to carry out the job.
Police recovered the vehicles - one was fixed with a GoPro camera attached to the dashboard, which recorded one of the alleged assailants saying a prayer in Arabic en route to the sex club, asking for protection from being identified.
Two other men are believed to be involved in the botched hit and further arrests are expected.
