Nine Muslim men arrested in Australia's biggest security swoop, and charged with planning a terrorist act, pretended to 
be women texting girlfriends to secretly communicate, a prosecutor told a court on Friday.

"Hi babes, I'm missing you," one message read, while another said: "How you going love, did Sue want to meet me".

During a bail application for one of the men, Khaled Cheikho, 32, in the New South Wales Supreme Court, a prosecutor 
said the men used "covert phones" under false names and code to communicate, Australian Associated Press reported from 
the court.

One message between Cheikho and co-accused Mohammed Elomar referred to the purchase of some insulation tape allegedly 
used to make explosives, said prosecutor Wendy Abraham.
