SYDNEY, March 22 (Xinhua) -- Australian counter-terrorism police arrested two people in Sydney on Tuesday as part of an ongoing police operation.
A 20-year-old man and a 16-year-old female from Sydney's southwest are both expected to be charged in relation to financing terrorism.
Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Michael Phelan said the arrests did not relate to the planning of a terror attack in Australia, and there was no imminent threat to the community as a result of Tuesday's activity.
"The charges these two people are expected to face relate to their alleged activities in raising funds and attempting to transfer those funds to an overseas terrorist organization," Phelan said.
