Federal police arrest a 65-year-old man in Australia they allege distributed instructions to evade law enforcement and carry out mass-casualty attacks.
According to reporting, the alleged suspect is also accused of acting as an Islamic State propagandist from Australia. One outlet says investigators allege he pledged allegiance to ISIS and provided guidance remotely, including approximately 10,000 documents and media files about executions and torture. Sources describe the material as instructive and aimed at supporting the planning or execution of violence rather than requiring the accused to travel to territory controlled by the group.
The outlets agree on the core claim that counter-terrorism agencies made the arrest and that the allegations involve online distribution of content connected to mass-casualty conduct and evading police. The extent of the alleged material and specific details about the content are emphasized more in one account than others.
