维多利亚警署和澳大利亚联邦警署今晨联手在墨尔本北部展开大规模反恐搜捕活动,共计19处房屋被警方搜查,涉及地区包括Glenroy, Carlton, Preston, Epping等地。据报道,此次活动主要针对潜在的伊斯兰自杀性爆炸活动。整个活动有超过400名警员参与,包括联邦警员,维州警员,澳洲安全及情报局以及新州的警方等。
维州警方的一名发言人表示,有多人因涉嫌恐怖活动而遭逮捕,但是没有透露具体人数。另据澳洲人报今天报道,国家安全局揭露了一次由伊斯兰极端分子攻击澳洲军事基地的阴谋。该报道还提到了墨尔本今晨的大规模反恐活动牵涉到一个可疑的恐怖组织,其成员主要由澳籍索马里和黎巴嫩人士组成。据悉该组织的一些成员被举报对澳洲军事基地进行秘密监视。
这个组织同位于索马里的恐怖机构al-Shabaab有牵连,而后者又同臭名昭著的al-Qaeda有关。

Homes across Melbourne’s north have been raided in a joint counter-terrorism operation reportedly targeting Islamic suicide bombers this morning.
Victoria Police and the Australian Federal Police executed 19 search warrants at homes in Glenroy, Carlton, Meadow Heights, Roxburgh Park, Broadmeadows, Westmeadows, Preston, Epping and Colac about 4.30am.
More than 400 officers from the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Victoria Police, NSW Police, the NSW Crime Commission and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) were involved in the operation.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said there had been a number of arrests, but she would not say how many
.
Police have set up a crime scene at the corner of View and Glen streets, Glenroy, in Melbourne's north.
The Australian this morning reported that national security agencies had uncovered a plot by Islamic extremists to launch a suicide attack on an Australian army base, which was understood to be Holsworthy Barracks on Sydney's western outskirts.
It said the raids involved a suspected terrorist cell of Australian nationals of Somali and Lebanese backgrounds.
The report said members of the group had been observed carrying out surveillance at the army base and other suspicious activity around defence bases in Victoria.
It also said the cell had been inspired by the Somalia-based terrorist movement al-Shabaab, which had connections with al-Qaeda.
The investigation dubbed Operation Health, involving 150 members of the AFP, Victoria Police and ASIO, was launched in January, the report said.
An AFP spokeswoman this morning confirmed its officers had joined the raids.
“The AFP and Victoria Police can confirm the execution of a number of search warrants this morning as part of a joint counter-terrorism operation,’’ she said.
The spokeswoman said more information would be available later this morning.
She was unable to confirm the News Ltd report.
