Counter-terrorism police in Australia have stopped a suspected plot to bring down an aeroplane, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said. He was speaking after four people were arrested in raids across Sydney. Investigators said they had information that the plot to blow up an aircraft involved the use of an "improvised device". Mr Turnbull said the raids had been a "major joint counter-terrorism operation". He said extra security was in place at domestic and international airports. The raids took place in the Sydney suburbs of Surry Hills, Lakemba, Wiley Park and Punchbowl, Australian broadcaster ABC reported. Australia's national terror threat level remains at "probable".
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin said the four men arrested were allegedly linked to an "Islamic-inspired" plot. "In recent days, law enforcement has become aware of information that suggested some people in Sydney were planning to commit a terrorist attack using an IED (improvised explosive device)," he told a news conference. He said police did not yet have information on "the specific attack, the location, date or time", adding that he expected the investigation to be "long and protracted". ABC reported that a woman in the Surry Hills area, who said her son and husband had been arrested, denied that they had any links to terrorism.

An Islamic inspired plot? Are they sure about this???
Strong work.
They were just sending candy bars back for the children. Trust me ya’ll got it all wrong. Trust me they love you, they love you long time just like the other day in Birmingham England where a girl was 1st loved by one guy who took here from the train station, then she escaped from him flagged down a driver and he loved her too.
Folks if you don’t see the deliberate genocide going on right in front of you and covered up by leaders in Europe who have no children of their own. Why should leaders who have zero children care about their citizens future. They aint gonna have no skin in the game.
But, I keep wondering what and how is it that they benefit from this fiasco.
And what is it you suspect
I didn’t think I would need a sarcasm tag there.
Did 9/11 wake America up? No.
Did the numerous terrorist attacks in Western Europe wake them up? No.
Will this latest plot wake Australia up? No.
So what will wake the civilized world up?
Answer: Nothing. The snake will eat the rabbit.
(Sorry for the pessimism. But I must call ‘em as I see ‘em.)
My fault....sometimes by the weekend by sarcasm detector goes off.
My daughter is flying from Cairns to Brisbane today. Said the police and Feds are swarming the airport. The Aussies take this stuff seriously.
The Australians let them in.
Now, enjoy !
And just how many are in the US?
“The Aussies take this stuff seriously.”
They are starting to...

They don’t belong in the West.
Period.
About the same number as Jews; however, the US Jewish vote completely cancels their influence.

And WE have some four hundred thousand in a population of some 24 million, of which those 400 thousand include about 20,000 Lebanese sunni - some of which are second and third generation. And that’s where most of the ‘trouble’ comes from. Our ‘mulsim problem’ doesn’t come from the Shia, the Druze, nor from the various numerous other sects of islam. It’s telling that the sunni are recipients of financial largess from the Wahhab side of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has the oil-sales that funded the building of Wahhabi-funded mosques throughout Western Civilization. 9/11 woke us up...
