SYDNEY (Reuters) -
Authorities in Australia are grappling with a rise in violence perpetrated by teenagers at home as well as working to halt the flow of those who are attempting to travel to Syria to fight with Islamic extremists.
Below is a timeline of recent events in Australia linked to militant extremism.

Jabar, 15, shoots dead a civilian employee
outside a police station in Sydney and is killed
by officers at the scene.

following a tip-off to the national security phone line and arrest a 17-year-old boy after finding three improvised explosive devices.
April 2015 – Five teenagers are arrested in
Melbourne in connection with an alleged plot to carry out a terror attack at an Anzac Day
memorial event. A 14-year-old boy in northern
England is later convicted of inciting the
Islamic-state inspired attack.

December 2014 – Self-styled Muslim cleric Man
Haron Monis takes 18 people hostage at the
Lindt café in Sydney. Two hostages are killed
and Monis is shot by police after a 16-hour

October 2014- Security legislation is introduced
that creates a new offence of “advocating
terrorism†and allows for travel to certain areas of conflict to be banned.
September 2014 - Australia's terror threat is
raised from medium to high, the second-highest threat level behind extreme. - Authorities carry out counter-terrorism raids in
Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. More than
800 police are involved in the raids. Several
