Queensland police have charged a man who they will allege made online threats towards a Jewish community centre in Victoria.
Detectives from the Counter-Terrorism Investigation Group allege the 52-year-old posted verbal threats to social media on Saturday.
The Holland Park man was located in the Yarraman State Forest on Saturday night, where he was arrested and had his phone seized. He has been charged with using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence and will appear in court next month.For Jews, the attack on Adass Israel Synagogue is a painful reminder of past horrors
