Australians say they foiled terror attack

Police in Sydney and Melbourne made arrests on Tuesday which they say have derailed a planned terrorist attack.

Among the arrested is an Algerian-Australian (they've got hyphens down under too) named Abdul Nacer Benbrika, who advocates "violent jihad". Lovely.

Also of note: The men arrested supposedly underwent military-style training at a rural camp northeast of Melbourne. That's almost like saying police in Dallas arrested a bunch of terrorists who were trained outside Ardmore, OK. Scary.
