Australian police on Tuesday arrested 17 people, including an outspoken Muslim cleric who supports Osama bin Laden, on charges of planning a terrorist attack and committing to “violent jihad in Australia“.

One of the arrested men was in critical condition in hospital after being shot during early morning raids in Sydney and Melbourne, in which police seized chemicals, firearms, computers, backpacks and travel documents.

Police said the loose-knit group did not have a target, but it was trying to buy chemicals similar to those used in the London bombings in July.
