Two men arrested on terrorism charges by the Australian Federal Police
Two men from Brisbane and Melbourne have been arrested by counter terrorism teams over their alleged involvement in funding a terrorist network.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) said the men were arrested by officers in raids in Brisbane and Melbourne yesterday.
They have both been charged with foreign incursion-related offences.
It is alleged the pair financially helped Queensland man Ahmed Succarieh to get to Syria in 2013, where he became Australia’s first suicide bomber to die there.
The AFP said one of the men arrested yesterday appeared in the Melbourne Magistrate’s Court and is facing extradition to Queensland, while the other man will face the Brisbane Magistrate’s Court today.
