Alleged terrorist plot to bring down plane in Australia
I really should stop checking the news just before I go to bed.
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".

Alleged is right, one has been released already. I hope the police havn't stuffed it up.

It sounds like they were smarter than the average, though still compromised and under surveillance.
