Melbourne trio charged with terrorism offences
 Three Melbourne men have been charged with terrorist offences in relation to an ongoing counter-terrorism operation in the city. The Australian Federal Police (AFP), ASIO and Victorian police have all been involved in the arrests. A 21-year-old, a 25-year-old and a 26-year-old from the city's northern suburbs were questioned at the AFP's headquarters in Melbourne. They have been charged with intentional membership of a terrorist organisation and intentionally making funds available to a terrorist organisation. The two older men have also been charged with supporting a terrorist organisation. An AFP spokeswoman says the arrests are linked to the terrorism raids in Sydney and Melbourne in November last year coordinated by the AFP, ASIO, New South Wales and Victorian police.Operation Pendennis has resulted in multiple arrests and terrorist charges in both capital cities. The men are expected to face court on Monday. Posted by: Fred 2006-03-31 |
