Airport incident investigation continues (Australia)

Police are continuing investigations into reports of a bang and a flash of light near Melbourne Airport.

A commercial pilot contacted the airport control tower about 4:30pm AEST yesterday, saying he saw a flash of light and a large puff of smoke.

Several people confirmed hearing a bang and seeing a speed camera-like flash.

One person took a photo showing a plume of smoke near the Bulla Cemetery.

Police, the CFA and the Melbourne Airport Authority found no evidence of anything during investigations yesterday.

Authorities charge two men after series of arrests in ongoing international anti-terrorism operation
The Associated Press, June 26, 2006

LONDON


Authorities have charged two men under Britain's Terrorism Act after a series of arrests that were part of an international anti-terror operation, West Yorkshire police said Monday.

A 21-year-old man from Bradford was accused of conspiracy to murder and plotting to cause public nuisance by using poison or explosives.

A second man, who is 28 years old, was charged under the Terrorism Act in a separate investigation. The second man was from southeast London and was accused under Section 57 of the Terrorism Act, which deals with the possession of articles that might be of use to terrorists, such as computer documents.

They are due to appear at Bow Street Magistrates Court in London on Tuesday.

Two other men arrested during the sweep last week were released without charge.
