SYDNEY: The Australian police on Wednesday said an “imminent” terror attack has been foiled in Sydney, with two men charged and a machete, a hunting knife, a video, and an Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) flag seized.
The men, Omar Al-Kutobi, 24, and Mohammad Kiad, 25, were arrested in a raid on a property in the city’s western suburbs by the Joint Counter Terrorism Taskforce on Tuesday after a tip-off, and charged with making preparations for a terrorist act.
