Anti-terror police narrowly averted a "disturbing" ISIS-linked plot to publicly maim or kill somebody with a hunting knife and machete, police and public officials said Wednesday, NBC News reported. Two men, aged 24 and 25, were arrested after a raid on a home in a western Sydney suburb where the knives were seized along with a video and a flag associated with the Islamist militant terror group. Australia has been on heightened alert for attacks by home-grown Islamist radicals.
