Khaled Khayat was accused of planning the terrorist attack at the behest of Islamic State.

An Australian court on Wednesday found a man guilty of plotting to blow up an Etihad Airways flight out of Sydney at the behest of the Islamic State militant group, by hiding a bomb in the luggage of his brother.

The third brother was unaware that he was carrying a bomb, disguised as a meat mincer, in his luggage, as he tried to check in at the airport, police said. Police had alleged that high-grade military explosives used to make the bomb were sent by air cargo from Turkey as part of a plot “inspired and directed” by Islamic State.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in November the likelihood of a terror attack in Australia remained at the 'probable' level, after a fatal stabbing in Melbourne that police said was inspired by Islamic State.
