Man faces court following bomb blast

(AAP) - A 30-year-old man charged with having custody of an explosive device has appeared in court following Thursday's bomb blast that killed two men in Adelaide.

The man, of suburban Munno Para West, has not been charged in relation to the fatal
explosion that claimed the lives of a Hells Angels bikie gang associate and a
convicted drug dealer.
The pair died when a homemade bomb went off in a car at suburban Enfield before dawn.
Police believe the bomb was triggered by accident and a rival gang member was the
intended target.
The man charged was detained after police went to the home of one of the dead men
and found a second bomb.
He was also charged with drug and firearms offences and was remanded in custody to
appear again in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court in March.
Meanwhile, South Australia's government is vowing to ban all bikie gangs in response
to Thursday's fatal bomb blast.
Attorney-General Michael Atkinson said the bomb blast "shows the true nature of the
outlaw motorcycle gangs".
SA was the first state to enact anti-bikie laws aimed at dismantling the gangs.
Parts of the laws were declared invalid by the SA Supreme Court last September but
the government on Friday was given permission to appeal against that ruling in the
High Court.
SA expects other states including NSW and Queensland, who have introduced similar
anti-bikie laws, to support the High Court appeal, Mr Atkinson said.
"My expectation is that the High Court will find the legislation valid," Mr Atkinson
said.
Under SA laws, the police commissioner can apply to the attorney to declare a bikie
gang as a criminal organisation.
Police can also apply to magistrates for control orders on bikers, effectively
banning them from associating.
The Finks was the first bikie club declared a criminal organisation in SA, with
eight members having control orders imposed on them.
But two members - Sandro Totani and Donald Hudson - successfully challenged aspects
of the orders in court, arguing they were unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court ruled the control order section of the law, which states the
"court must ... make a control order", was invalid.
Police Minister Michael Wright said the Rebels motorcycle club would be the next to
be declared a criminal organisation.
"These tough anti-bikie laws, the toughest in the nation, will be applied to all
bikie groups," Mr Wright said.
Opposition police spokesman David Ridgway said Thursday's fatal bombing indicated a
growing underbelly of violence in SA.
