Four people were arrested and more were being questioned after pre-dawn raids yesterday on 19 properties across Melbourne and regional Victoria foiled the alleged plot.
Mr Rudd said the alleged plot showed the threat of terrorism was alive and well but there was no need for the national counter-terrorism level to change from medium the level it had been since the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States...more..http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/national/national/general/death-wish-martyrdom-plot-foiled/1587041.aspx?src=rss

Group being considered for terrorist listing
The radical Islamist organisation allegedly planning an attack on a Sydney military base had been considered for listing as a terrorist group in Australia.But the federal government had not proceeded to listing al-Shabaab because it didn't want to comprise yesterday's counter-terrorism operation in Victoria, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said. Al-Shabaab has been listed as a terrorist group in the United States since February 2008. "This has been the subject of some internal deliberation within the government ... for a period of time," Mr Rudd said.
