Australia raids homes to thwart 'terror cell'

[dArKeR]

Canberra - Australia may have broken up a terror cell with a series of raids launched after the deportation of a French national suspected of training with al-Qaeda.

Bob Carr, premier of the state of New South Wales where the man was detained, told reporters on Monday the presence of the 35-year-old Frenchman, arrested on October 9, deported to France and now being held there on suspicion of terror links, had been worrying.

Police and intelligence officers from the Australian Secret Intelligence Organisation raided at least six homes and some vehicles in Sydney on Sunday in a search for the man's contacts in Australia.

No charges have been laid

"It's likely that they are breaking up now some cell that has existed in Sydney," Carr told reporters. "I think it is likely we have prevented something."
