Second raid anti-terroriste ces dernières heures à Sydney.
Sydney, Australia
Another police raid executedANOTHER home was raided in Sydney last night as police continued their search for terror suspects.
Four police cars, an ambulance and a bomb squad vehicle raced into Glenview Ave, Panania, about 6pm.
The street, near an industrial area, was closed off for an hour as officers searched the house looking for suspected terrorists or evidence.
No arrests were made.
Late last night police were still searching a blue van parked outside the house.
Neighbours said the resident of the home, who did not appear to be in, was a Lebanese Muslim with two young children.
One resident, who did not wish to be named, said: "The 4WDs came speeding around the corner, there were no sirens and no lights. Then they blocked the street and I was told to get inside for my own safety."
A Lebanese Muslim neighbour said he had tried to befriend the man but he seems to "keep to himself".
"I say hello to him but he never says hello back," the neighbour said.
"He's not very talkative and rarely leaves the house. They don't seem to get many visitors either."
About 10.30pm a young man in his 20s pulled up in a vehicle outside the house.
The man, believed to be the brother of the resident, pushed past the officers and shouted: "That's my f...in' brother in there.
"Don't f...in' touch me I'll co-operate if you tell the media to turn their lights off. There will be violence if I see a camera."
The man then shoved a cameraman, who was rescued by police trying to calm the man.
Earlier in the day, a mix of anger and astonishment prevailed in the quiet suburban streets around Lakemba and Bankstown after the early morning swoops on terrorist suspects.
At the Myall St, Punchbowl, house of one of the seven arrested men - Khaled Cheikho - an occupant was obviously enraged by the arrest.
"You mongrels better get out of here or I'll get in my car and run over your head," he shouted from a window, pointing at a late model Mercedes parked in the driveway of the one-storey house.
At the Sir Joseph Banks St, Bankstown, unit of fellow suspect Mazen Touma, his young wife said: "I'm not in the mood to talk."
Another woman, wearing a traditional head-to-toe Muslim hijab, and escorting two young boys, denied she was there to visit Touma.
Neighbours around suspect Mirsad Mulhalilovic's home in Kent St, Belmore, said the Bosnian's demeanour had changed over the past 18 months.
In that time he had married, they said, and become more religious in his appearance and attitude.
