澳大利亚警方在一次覆盖三座城市的大规模反恐行动中逮捕了15人。

大约800名警员星期四早间在悉尼、布里斯班和洛根的几十处地点进行了突击行动,摧毁了警方所说的一次企图针对公众实施暴力活动的阴谋。

拘捕行动几天前,面对伊斯兰国支持者发出的威胁,澳大利亚警方提升了反恐警戒级别。

联邦警察署署长安德鲁·考尔文对记者表示,这些被捕的人“已经开始策划在澳大利亚本土实施暴力行动”。

上个星期,澳大利亚警方在布里斯班逮捕了两名正在准备前往叙利亚的男子。这两个人从事了招募激进分子等活动,并为基地组织的分支机构胜利阵线(al-Nusra Front)筹募资金。

Australian police have arrested 15 people in a massive anti-terrorism raid across three cities.

Around 800 police officers swept through dozens of locations in Sydney, Brisbane and Logan early Thursday, thwarting what officials called a domestic plot to "commit violent acts" against the public.

The arrests come days after Australia elevated its terror warning amid threats by Islamic State supporters.

Federal Folice Chief Andrew Colvin told reporters the group targeted by the raids "had started to carry out planning to commit violent acts here in Australia."

Last week, Australian police arrested two men in Brisbane suspected of preparing to fight in Syria, recruiting militants and raising money for the al-Qaida-affiliated al-Nusra Front.
