The arrests come after Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was stabbed in an alleged terror attack at Christ the Good Shepherd Church in the Western Sydney suburb of Wakeley on April 15. A 16-year-old boy was later charged over the attack and a wider terror probe launched. The 14-year-old was among the five charged following Wednesday’s raids.
