Australia to tighten airport security after foiled attack

SYDNEY: Australia will introduce random searches of workers entering and inside its airports as it increases security after a recent foiled terrorism plot, officials said. Airport security was tightened in July after police foiled “Islamic-inspired” plans for a bomb attack on an Emirates flight from Sydney. Police said they arrested four men in city-wide raids on July 28 after one of them days earlier had allegedly tried to bring an IED on to a flight.
