Two men have been arrested in further Operation Appleby counter-terrorism raids in Merrylands and Bankstown in Sydney.

Abdullah Salihy, 24, was arrested at Memorial Avenue in Merrylands and Mohammad Alamouie, 20, was arrested in Bankstown.

Alamouie's brother was charged with terrorism offences earlier this month.

A senior police source told the ABC Salihy was planning a "similar type of attack that happened at Parramatta police headquarters".

The counter-terrorism raids are part of an ongoing police operation that has been focusing on a group of about 20 young men who police allege are committed to carrying out a terrorist attack in Australia.

There have been a series of police raids since the biggest counter-terrorism raids in Australia's history were carried out in September last year.

Further raids have been carried out this year after police accountant Curtis Cheng was shot dead outside the Parramatta police headquarters in October.

The police source said that the Merrylands home raided this morning was also raided earlier this month.

More to come.

NSW counter-terrorism police arrest two men in Western Sydney.

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/nsw-counter-terrorism-police-arrest-tw...

TWO men have been arrested in Western Sydney counter-terrorism raids over an alleged plot to drive explosives into a location at Sydney’s New Year’s Eve festivities in 2014.

Channel Nine is reporting the 20 and 24-year-old men had planned to target the Garden Island precinct.

They were arrested in dawn raids at Merrylands and Bankstown this morning.

NSW counter-terrorism police and Australian Federal Police conducted the raids as part of Operation Appleby.

A statement from the AFP said charges would be laid later today.

“The AFP can confirm that two people have been arrested in Sydney as part of the ongoing Operation Appleby investigation,” the statement said.

Explain to me the logistics of that Ian. For example I'll be going overseas shortly. If your proposal was to be implemented I would not be allowed back in. But how would they know? Nowhere on my passport does it say I'm muslim - in fact there is no record of me being muslim anywhere. Its just my personal belief. Maybe they should do a polygraph on every single person entering the country. Don't see any logistical problems there at all.

But even if they could somehow know and I was stopped at the airport - I am a citizen of only one country - Australia. That would therefore make me stateless. Maybe the Australian embassy in Malaysia will put me up do you think? They would have to support me too, as I have no working rights in Malaysia. Or maybe they shouldn't help me - in which case they would have to strip me of my citizenship to divest themselves of their responsibility to me. Is that something you had in mind Ian - stripping people of their citizenship purely on the basis of their religion?

You arent a real Muslim, I establlshed that fact some time ago. And racial profiling is extremely effective, thats why its used.

A bomb on a crowded New Year's Eve street would have escalated things a bit. Gandalf now would be a good time remind everyone how impolite it is to mock Muhammed.

Ian didn't think to mention the fact that it was a couple of cans of mace spray - you know the stuff little girls use to fend off muggers.

Ian just proposed a blanket ban on letting any muslims into the country - and this is what you feel is important here?

What do you think FD - should muslim citizens be banned from travel? Is that an attack on people's freedom do you think? Do you think such proposals are dangerous in any way in terms of the whole freedom thing?

Dear Gandalf -

be alert but not alarmed -

report any suspicious activities you find in your local mosque to the authorities.

You don't understand Bobby - people who don't embrace and celebrate the mocking of The Prophet are clearly far more of a threat to our freedom than people who call for blanket discrimination of people based on their religion.
