Authorities in Australia foiled a terror plot to bring down an airplane and arrested four men Saturday, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced at a news conference in Sydney.
Police said it was an Islamist-inspired plot, but they did not link the plan to a specific terrorist group.
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin said officers became aware people in Sydney were allegedly planning to carry out a terrorist attack using an improvised device.
Turnbull said it was an elaborate conspiracy. Police did not specify the date or location of the threat.
