Australia: Counter-terrorism Operations Under Way
Something big is brewing in Australia: Police operations track 'terror plotters'
EXTRA counter-terrorism police have been rushed to Sydney to take part in the 24-hour surveillance of two suspects believed to be planning an attack on Australian soil. The Australian understands a command post has been established in Sydney to monitor the men, one of whom has been linked to the outlawed terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba.A parallel operation is under way in Melbourne and it is believed raids are imminent on the properties of the six suspects, even though it would not necessarily lead to arrests.
Anti-terror police are waiting for approval from the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions before swooping on the group.
