Plane plot organised by islamic state commander - sydney police

Police in Australia say a top Islamic State commander ordered a group of men to build a bomb to be put on a flight out of Sydney.

Two men - who were arrested at the weekend - have been charged with two counts of planning a terrorist act. It's believed parts of a bomb were smuggled in air cargo from Turkey - and those responsible were planning on targeting an Etihad plane. Australian Justice Minister Michael Keenan says it's very concerning.
