Australian police conducted raids across Sydney on Wednesday, resulting in the arrest of seven teenagers suspected of following a violent extremist ideology. The individuals, aged between 15 and 17, were part of a network that included a 16-year-old boy accused of stabbing a bishop in a Sydney church on April 15.
The Joint Counter-Terrorism Team, comprising federal and state police, the Australian Security Intelligence Organization, and the New South Wales Crime Commission, was involved in the operation. Five other teenagers were being questioned by authorities late Wednesday.
