Australian police make UK terror arrest
Police in Brisbane, Australia, have made an eighth arrest in connection with the failed UK terror attacks and car bombings in London and the attack on Glasgow airport.
A counter-terrorism team arrested a 27-year-old doctor at Brisbane International Airport as he tried to leave the country and has been searching properties in the state of Queensland.
The man, who is a resident in Australia though not an Australian citizen, worked as a registrar at the Gold Coast hospital in Queensland, according to reports.
Attorney general Philip Ruddock said the terrorist threat to Australia remains “medium”.
“The individual concerned was seeking to leave Australia and I understand did not have a return ticket,” Ruddock said.
Federal police commissioner Bill Keelty said the man was arrested after British police contacted Australian authorities over the weekend with information.
Meanwhile, a number of London Underground stations were closed following security alerts this morning and then reopened.
