Re: Terror attack foiled in Sydney Australia

It`s okay...It was just a cleverly conceived ''exercise''...to check the response readiness of the anti-terrorist squad....The execution of it was actually a bit slap-dash. But, at least, they had all the bases covered...(well...more or less, anyway...)

Are you sure about that?

Googled it and at the moment nothing about what you are stating.

Sydney police raid 5 locations after 'advanced' plot to down plane foiled
Police raided at least five properties in Sydney, Australia, on Monday after four men were arrested over a plan to bring down an airplane as part of a complex terror plot.

Investigators dressed in full protective gear were observed rifling through garbage at the scene and removing items from at least one apartment.
One local resident told CNN he had never seen anything like it in his neighborhood.

Doesn't sound like an 'exercise' to me .

I also heard that they had raided 5 locations it seems funny them doing that if it was just an exercise.
