here is why the world is going to act against isis Australia says it has foiled an alleged attempt by the Islamic State (Isis) to launch a terror attack, aimed at beheading a random member of the public as a demonstration of the militant group’s clout. Police raided properties across Sydney, Brisbane and Logan, in the early hours detaining 15 people and charging one with a terrorism-related offence. Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who was briefed on the plans by intelligence chiefs last night, said: “The exhortations — quite direct exhortations — were coming from an Australian who is apparently quite senior in [Isis] to networks of support back in Australia to conduct demonstration killings here in this country,” though he did not name the person. He confirmed that the authorities were made aware of a plan by jihadists to stage a public execution in Sydney, adding: “This is not just suspicion, this is intent and thats why the police and security agencies decided to act in the way they have.”
