World: Aussie authorities try to smoke out a terror cell in Melbourne

  • They were apparently plotting an attack. Sounds like an interesting middle of the night in Melbourne: 400 officers executed 19 search warrants in nine neighborhoods and arrested four people. That’s a lot of officers, a lot of warrants, a lot of places, but not many people arrested. Those arrested (who were Australian nationals, though some of Somalian and Lebanese descent) plotted a suicide attack using semiautomatic weapons. It could have been very bad had the suspects pulled it off, authorities say. source
