Supreme Court judge Christopher Beale said the three had embraced IS ideology and believed the planned attack would be pleasing to Allah, the Australian Broadcasting Corp said.

The plan was “one of the most substantial terrorist plots disrupted over the last several years”, prime minister Malcolm Turnbull had said.

Thanks be to God they were caught.

I really wish they’d capitalise God…as the AP style handbook said to do when I was in college.
