  • 9 years ago
Several Islamic State sympathisers was arrested in Australia during counterterrorism raids launched by Australian police in Sydney and Brisbane on Thursday.

The operation was conducted 48 hours after police intercepted a phone call made from Mohammad Ali Baryalei, reportedly the Australia’s most senior member of the Islamic State, who ordered a terrorist act in Australia, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

The plan reportedly involved the random kidnapping and beheading of an Australian off the street, with a recording of the incident to be released through the Islamic State’s propaganda department, ABC reported.

More than 800 police raided over a dozen properties across 12 suburbs in Sydney and parts of Brisbane. A total of 15 people were arrested. Mohammad Ali Baryalei and a 22-year-old Sydney man, Omarjan Azari are accused of planning terrorist acts. Nine of the 15 detainees were later released, according to Fox News.
