New South Wales counter-terrorism police have charged a 49-year-old man from Lakemba and a 32-year-old Punchbowl man arrested in raids last weekend across Sydney.
They have each been charged with two counts of preparing for, or planning, a terrorist attack and are due to face court in Parramatta. The maximum penalty for the offence is life imprisonment.
Another man - arrested at Surry Hills - remains in police custody under the "specified time" provisions.
