5 teens arrested in Australia, suspected of being inspired by ISIS

5 teens were arrested at 3:30 this morning in Melbourne, Australia for engaging in efforts to kill antiterrorist police officers. 3 of the teens have been released already because the police need to launch "further enquiries" into their involvement but one teen has been the center of the search for his close relationship with another teen who was gunned down after knifing some policemen last September. Sevdet Besim is the only one who has been charged and Australian authorities have attempted to quell the idea that the suspects were islam inspired, instead saying the attacks were inspired by the "Daesh Death Cult" a transliteration of an arabic slur for ISIS. The attacks were planned for the morning of Anzac day, the biggest national holiday of the year in Australia. It's particularly troubling because many Australians have died fighting for and against ISIS and 150 people have been reported in Sydney alone recruiting people for ISIS.
