A man has been bludgeoned to death by a group of Australian motorcycle gang members in full view of dozens of people at Sydney airport.

Witnesses described bikers swinging poles "like swords" at each other's heads as the brawl spilled over two floors of Sydney's domestic terminal. Four suspects have been arrested and the others are said to have fled.

Police believe the fight broke out when one group of bikers coming off a plane was ambushed by a rival gang.

Police did not name any gangs thought to be involved, but Australian media reported that the brawl, on Sunday afternoon, was between the Hell's Angels and Comancheros gangs.

A 28-year-old man died in hospital from severe head injuries.Police said about 15 gang members were involved in the fight, which was witnessed by about 50 people.

Biker gang member arrested after fatal Sydney airport brawlAustralian government launches crackdown on motorcycle gangs following airport brawl between Hell's Angels and Comancheros

Australian police today arrested a senior motorcycle gang member as authorities launched a crackdown on biker groups after a deadly airport brawl on Sunday brought a simmering gang war out into the open.

The 15-minute fight in a busy terminal at Sydney airport has shocked the country. The prime minister, Kevin Rudd, said gang violence had become a problem across Australia and he would make sure there was a national response.

"This sort of behaviour by bikies and others engaged in organised criminal activity is unacceptable in Australia, absolutely unacceptable," Rudd said during a visit to Washington.

Today's arrest of the Bandidos gang member Mahmoud Dib was not directly related to Sunday's brawl between up to 15 members of Hell's Angels and Comancheros, which left one person bludgeoned to death.

Dib, 27, had been charged with six firearm offences after a semi-automatic pistol was found in a car connected to him, police said. He was also being investigated in relation to a string of drive-by shootings.

Superintendent Angelo Memmolo said tests were under way to determine if the gun had been used in a spate of shootings at houses and cars in Sydney's western suburbs last week. Police said another incident occurred on Monday night, when four shots were fired at a house. No one was injured and there have been no arrests.

The shootings are believed to be part of a dispute between the Bandidos and a gang called Notorious. Police said shots were fired into Dib's house on 16 March and they suspect some of the attacks have been reprisals.

A standing state commission into organised crime opened a new investigation into biker violence today following the airport brawl.The men the airport shortly after Anthony Zervas, 29, the brother of a well-known Sydney biker, was struck with metal poles. He died in hospital.

Biker gangs have existed in Australia since the late 1960s and turf battles have ebbed and flowed. Gang members are often accused of being involved in drugs, although gang leaders deny involvement in organised crime and say they cannot control individual actions.

With the exception of a full-blown gun battle in a Sydney car park in 1984 between Bandidos and Comancheros, most violence had been largely out of the public eye.

According to Arthur Veno, the author of the 2004 book The Brotherhoods: Inside the Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs, the emergence in the past few years of Notorious has contributed to an escalation of violence and a worrying trend of indifference to the safety of bystanders. Notorious was a shadowy group that modelled itself structurally on a biker gang but was more involved in crime that motorcycles, Veno said.

Rudd and the New South Wales premier, Nathan Rees, said tougher laws against gang violence would be considered in the coming months and the federal home affairs minister, Bob Debus, said airport security would be reviewed.

I heard that there are a lot of Lebanese and other Arab muds in the Comancheros. Would be cool if the white bikers started targeting these muds in racially motivated attacks, it could spark something big like the Cronulla uprising.:)

There are some here that are muds, core leadership in my area are white. They live across the road from me. I fly a rebel flag due to being Klan, they have never touched people in my street. If anything they have quieten my street. They have been here 8 years.

Only problem is when they war, but they tend not to dirty where they live.

That war it looks stupid, but it has perfect sense to 1%MC...it is TCB thing, real question is: is war started as bar fight, with few guys fighting for girl, or that is fight for tertory (drugs dealing teritory).?

Australian State Unveils Tough Anti-Bike Gang Laws `Ten days ago bikie gangs crossed the line`, Rees said of a deadly attack at Sydney Airport last week

Laws designed to ban motorcycle gangs were unveiled in Australia's most populous state on Thursday following days of warfare between rival gang members which saw street shootings and a fatal melee at Sydney's main airport.
New South Wales state Premier Nathan Rees said the laws were a "proportionate response" to escalating violence between motorcycle gangs, including the beating to death of one "bikie" and the near-fatal shooting of another.

"Ten days ago bikie gangs crossed the line," Rees said of a deadly attack at Sydney Airport last week in which members of the Hells Angels and Comancheros gangs brawled in front of terrified passengers at the country's biggest airport.

One man was killed in the attack, beaten to death by up to 15 other men wielding metal bollards used to separate passengers in the airport flight check-in area. Police have charged five bikies over the deadly 15-minute brawl.

The bikie wars, fought largely over control of the illegal drug trade, have shocked Australians, with one senior gang member shot and seriously wounded while parking his car.

Flamboyant Comancheros boss Mahmoud "Mick" Hawi was said by newspapers on Thursday to be in hiding in fear of reprisal attacks, with a A$100,000 ($69,000) bounty on his head.

The new laws allow police to seek a court order to make membership of a listed bikie gang illegal. Gang members who continue to gather could face two to five years in jail.

Authorities will also be able to seize bikie assets and search homes, sparking criticism from civil rights groups that the laws are too draconian.

The laws are modelled on bans in place in South Australia state, where bike gangs have been blamed for murder, drug trafficking, prostitution and weapons smuggling.

Police have been empowered to dismantle gang headquarters and force members to account for any unexplained wealth or income, but lawyers are challenging the laws in Australia's high court.

Yes unfortunately race is not an issue for many of these guys.

I dont know about the Banditos but Im sure that the Comancheros have many muds taken from Sydney's Lebanese community.
