(The Australian) A SERIES of anti-terrorism raids were sparked by intelligence reports that Islamic State supporters were planning a public execution in Australia, Prime Minister Tony Abbott says.
Details of the alleged, planned attack have emerged in the wake of the biggest anti-terrorism operation in Australia’s history, involving up to 800 police and ASIO officers in co-ordinated raids across Sydney and Brisbane this morning.
Two men have been charged following the raids after 15 people were arrested.
