Authorities in Australia have disrupted a significant terror plot involving plans to hijack a passenger plane and fly it to a hostile nation in the Middle East. The suspect, who was arrested earlier this year, is now facing court, though their identity remains suppressed. Investigators are examining possible ideological motives, including anti-Semitic and pro-Middle Eastern sentiments. In response to the threat, the Department of Home Affairs has met with airport operators across the country to strengthen aviation security measures.
