Default Australia plane terror plot involved poisoning passengers,using homemade bombs, report says

Police in Australia are continuing to hunt for more evidence as
they investigate a major terror plot targeting the aviation
industry.

Four people – two Lebanese-Australians men and their two sons –
were arrested in raids in Sydney on Saturday, following an
intelligence tip-off. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull
described the plot as “Islamic-inspired terrorism.”

“We have succeeded in disrupting a major terrorist plot to bring
down an airplane,” Turnbull said. “Good intelligence, great
police work, great investigation, great co-ordination has
enabled us to disrupt that plot.”

Police are conducting forensic work at five properties linked to
the suspects, but refused to elaborate on details of the planned
attack. Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin
would not confirm reports in the Australian media that the plot
involved poisoning passengers with a toxic gas, or using a
homemade bomb smuggled onto a flight in hand luggage.

“The plot that we are investigating, we believe was an attempt
to put a device onto an aircraft. But, beyond that, the
speculation is just that – it’s speculation,” Colvin said.

Colvin also refused to comment on unconfirmed reports that the
suspects were not previously known to police.

Since the arrests, security been stepped up at both domestic and
international terminals of Australia’s major airports.
Authorities warn the new measures may be in place indefinitely.

“We need to remind the public the threat is there, it’s why
we’ve ramped up the security at our domestic and international
airports,” said Peter Dutton, Australia’s Immigration and Border
Protection Minister. He advised passengers to arrive early at
airports to allow time for additional screening.

Australian authorities have disrupted 13 terror threats over the
past few years – but nothing on this scale. Turnbull said the
terror threat level would remain the same, at “probable,”
despite these latest developments.

The four suspects have not yet been charged. Under Australian
counterterrorism laws, they can be held for seven days for
questioning.

Correct.
This issue has been adequately covered by the press.
The Australian public is well informed.

Your point in this fear-mongering post is what?
Go and troll elsewhere! FOAD!
