Three men have faced a court charged with terrorism offences over alleged arson attacks on an Australian mosque.

The two alleged attacks in Melbourne were inspired by so‑called Islamic State and targeted a Shia Islamic centre, according to police.

No‑one was hurt in the fires in November and December last year.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) alleges the attacks were designed to intimidate those who attend the mosque and the wider Islamic community.
