A court found five Muslim men guilty of plotting attacks in Australia in an effort to wage “violent jihad.” The five men had stored chemicals and materials to build bombs and possessed “step-by-step instructions on how to make bombs capable of causing large-scale death and destruction.” The location of the planned attack was not disclosed.
