Victorian man to appear in court on terror charges

SYDNEY - A 25-year-old Victorian man will face a Sydney court today charged with being a member of a terrorist organisation.

The man was arrested about 5.40pm (8.40pm NZ time) yesterday after NSW counter-terrorism officers with a Victorian warrant stopped a car in Guildford, in Sydney's west, police said.

He was taken to the Sydney Police Centre and charged.

The man is due to appear in Sydney's Central Local Court today.

Victorian authorities are expected to apply for his extradition to Melbourne.

He is the 18th man arrested and charged with terrorism-related offences after authorities raided several homes in Sydney and Melbourne on Tuesday morning.
