Australian teens held over alleged terror attack
Police in Australia say they have foiled an Islamic State-inspired plot to carry out an attack at a World War One centenary event, the BBC reported.
Police arrested five suspects, including two 18-year-olds being held for alleged terrorism-related offences.
They said the men were planning to target police at an Anzac memorial event in Melbourne next week.
Some 200 police officers took part in the counter-terrorism operation in the city early on Saturday.
Acting deputy police commissioner Neil Gaughan told reporters that evidence gathered by police led them to believe the suspects had been influenced by Islamic State.
The two men held on terrorism-related offences were likely to be charged, he said.
