Two caught in Australia, planned terror attack

Two men arrested by Australian anti-terror police in Sydney have been charged with plotting attacks on targets including a navy base, according to New South Wales Police.
The men were apprehended Wednesday during dawn raids on their homes by officers from the Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT), as part of their ongoing anti-terror campaign known as "Operation Appleby."
A 24-year-old man from the western suburb of Merrylands has been charged with one count of collecting or making documents likely to facilitate terrorist acts, a NSW statement said. He faces up to 15 years in prison.
A 20-year-old man from Bankstown in southwest Sydney was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation, or planning terrorist acts.
