Sydney
AUSTRALIAN counter-terrorism police said on Wednesday that they had arrested two men in Sydney, eight days after a 16-hour siege in a central city cafe ended with the deaths of two hostages and a gunman with radical Islamist sympathies.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Tuesday that security officials had intercepted a heightened level of "terrorist chatter" in the aftermath of the Sydney cafe siege, but there were no specific threats of attacks.
