Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Friday’s arrest of a ‌Western Australian man over an alleged terror plot targeting mosques, police and a parliament building was “deeply ‌shocking”.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old from the town of ⁠Bindoon about 63 km north of ⁠state capital Perth was later charged ‌by police with planning a terrorist act. Police ⁠said the ⁠man had written a manifesto with plans for a mass casualty event and that he wanted to attack mosques, Western ⁠Australia’s police headquarters and Parliament ⁠House.<\/p>\n

Albanese said on X late on ‌Friday: “The arrest of a WA man over an alleged racially-motivated terrorist plot is deeply shocking.”<\/p>\n

“Allegations the man was planning ‌to target the Muslim community through attacks on mosques – as well as attacks on the WA police and parliament – are particularly distressing. He should face the full force of the law,” Albanese said.<\/p>\n

The arrest ​is the latest in a series of incidents in Australia classified as terrorism, ‌including an attempt on January 26 to bomb a rally in Perth that was protesting against the ‌country’s national day.<\/p>\n

In December, two gunmen attacked ⁠a Hanukkah celebration ⁠at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, ​killing 15 in Australia’s deadliest massacre ⁠in nearly ‌30 years. Authorities believe the ​pair were inspired by Islamic State, the Sunni Muslim militant group.<\/p>\n
