MELBOURNE - An Australian court on Wednesday found a man guilty of plotting to blow up a an Etihad Airways flight out of Sydney at the behest of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria militant group, by hiding a bomb in the luggage of his brother.

The third brother was unaware that he was carrying a bomb, disguised as a meat mincer, in his luggage, as he tried to check in at the airport, police said. Police had alleged that high-grade military explosives used to make the bomb were sent by air cargo from Turkey as part of a plot"inspired and directed" by ISIS.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in November the likelihood of a terror attack in Australia remained at the"probable" level, after a fatal stabbing in Melbourne that police said was inspired by Islamic State.
