A fourth man detained last week over a plot to bomb a plane bound from Australia to the Middle East has been released on bail after being charged with a non-terror related offence, Australia Federal Police said in an email.
The man, 39, was charged with one count of possession of a prohibited weapon. Two of the four men arrested last week have been charged with terrorism related offences. A third was released earlier with no charge.
