Jazzy Jan Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 So glad that our police and undercover anti-terrorism stopped this attack. Melbourne on Christmas day would have been one of despair and terror instead of celebrating if their plans had not been stopped. Police have disrupted a terrorist plot to detonate improvised explosive devices at locations in central Melbourne, possibly on Christmas Day, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says. "Overnight, the Victoria Police, working with the Australian Federal Police and ASIO, have arrested seven persons, five of whom are still in custody, searched five premises and are continuing to search them. "What they have uncovered is a plot to explode improvised explosive devices in central Melbourne in the area of Federation Square, on or about Christmas Day. The raids were part of a counter-terrorism operation involving Victoria Police, the Australian Federal Police and ASIO. Commissioner Ashton said it was believed a number of people were intending to carry out an attack involving explosives and other weapons. Over the last fortnight … we have had to conduct a criminal investigation relating to the formation of what we believe was a terrorist plot," he said. "We believe that there was an intention to conduct what we call a multi-mode attack, possibly on Christmas Day. Police believe the locations to be targeted include Federation Square, Flinders Street Station, and St Paul's Cathedral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
