After the arrest of five young people inspired by the Islamic State group alias Daesh, Australian police re-evaluate the safety for the ceremonies of the ANZAC Day, says Australian media. The ANZAC Day commemorates the commitment of the Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. Young people who were arrested were planning to carry out a terrorist attack in Melbourne.
"The act was being prepared, we believe, involved attacks against police officers during the ANZAC Day, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said. That's all we can say at this stage. (...) We believe that this act was inspired or rather that this potential act was inspired by the cult of death Daesh the Middle East. "
After noting in September, its alert level against terrorism, Australia had been shaken by the hostage-taking at a cafe in Sydney in December. The author of the attack, an Islamic unbalanced, and two customers were killed.
