Melbourne today uncovered a "heinous" terrorist plot inspired by ISIS (ISIS), involving three Turkish-Australian men in arrest. They are said to intend to use at least one semi-automatic rifle designed to kill as much as possible.

The state police chief, Aston (Ashton), said the authorities had been investigating the three men since March and that in the past week they had become "more energetic" plotters.
Aston told journalist in Melbourne that while authorities did not know "no exact time and place," they were "looking for places to gather" and "had the most people to go to so that they could kill as many people as possible."
Authorities believe the three have also recently attempted to buy 0.22 semi-automatic rifle to assist in terrorist attacks.
Aston said the suspect, using encrypted communications, had planned to fight for the ISIS in the Middle East and that the police had launched an operation arrest after gathering sufficient evidence.
The three are all Turkish Australians, whose passports were withdrawn in January, March and October this year, respectively. Two of them did not have a criminal record, but one had dealt with the police in 2007 for not wearing an L licence.
The authorities said three people were instigated by the ISIS to plan a terrorist attack, and there is currently no sustained threat.
Today`s raid was carried out jointly by the Australian Federal Police, the Victorian Police and the Australian Security Intelligence Agency. In addition to the homes of three people, a location in (Coolaroo), Curaro, was also searched.
State Governor Andrews (Daniel Andrews) said the plot "could be fatal" if the police and intelligence were not involved. On behalf of the people of Victoria, he thanked the police and intelligence.
A suspect builds a mosque family at his home and says he doesn`t know about the attack.
The Herald Sun said that one of the suspects, after radicalization, no longer went to the local mosque, but built a "blue mosque" (Blue Mosque), at home and the suspect`s family was highly respected in the local community.
Entuk used to be a painter, but half a year ago he was injured and stopped working when he fell off a ladder. He and his wife had two young children, one of whom was recently born. His wife told journalist yesterday that she knew nothing about the terrorist plot.
Ntuk and Samid`s father, Amaran (Armagan Eriklioglu), told the Australian broadcaster that his son was neither violent nor bewitched by ISIS.
"they don`t even use weapons, they don`t join the army," he said. "they`re very polite. They`re not violent, they`re not belligerent."
"they just prayed like me. They don`t like ISIS. "
But Ntuk`s neighbor, Zubar (Zubair Mohamma), said the Ntuk family no longer went to the local mosque, and he disagreed with it because "we are not praying for any organization, not for anyone, we pray to the only god."
