Two suspects have been arrested in new anti-terrorist raids in Sydney, Australian officials said on Saturday. The arrests are part of an investigation into extremist activity by supporters of Islamist militants fighting in Syria and Iraq.
One man, 33, was detained on Friday on the charges of acquiring and possessing ammunition illegally. Another, 21, was arrested the same day on charges of illegal firearms and ammunition possession. The “long-running investigation” is not a result of any specific concerns at this time, but is part of a crackdown on terrorist sources of finance and other support of foreign fighters and those intending to carry out terrorist attacks on Australian soil.
