A 25-year-old Sri-Lankan named M. Nizamdeen was arrested over suspected terror-related offences in Australia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Australian law enforcement authorities said he was in Sydney on a student visa, and was arrested after finding “symbolic locations within Sydney” listed as possible targets in his notebook<\/p>\n

Officers from NSW’s Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) arrested Mohamed Nizamdeen at Kensington, in Sydney’s south-east.<\/p>\n

The University of New South Wales contractor appeared in Waverley Local Court today where he was refused bail, with the matter adjourned to October 24.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nizamdeen is in Australia on a student visa, and police will allege they found documents containing plans to facilitate terrorism attacks on the university campus.<\/p>\n

Police searched a unit on Defries Avenue in Zetland about 2:00am today, where they seized several electronic items. They are currently searching his workplace.<\/p>\n

Australian Federal Police (AFP) detective superintendent Michael McTiernan said the charges were “serious and significant”.<\/p>\n

“It is quite a significant document which requires further analysis,” he said.<\/p>\n

Police allege Nizamdeen was acting on his own, and despite telling a media conference he appeared to be an Islamic State affiliate, they have not charged him with being a member of a terrorist organisation.<\/p>\n

Nizamdeen was working is a business systems analyst in UNSW’s IT department, including working on a project to help students better understand cyber security.<\/p>\n

NSW Police detective acting superintendent Michael Sheehy said investigations were in their infancy.<\/p>\n

“At this stage, there [are] no concerns for public safety,” he said.<\/p>\n

“This is clearly an offence in relation to the preparation of a document. It is not an offence in relation to capability of this individual.”<\/p>\n

The JCTT comprises officers from the AFP, NSW Police, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, and the NSW Crime Commission.<\/p>\n

Police said Nizamdeen’s visa was to expire in September, and that he was in the process of applying for another one. <\/p>\n
