Man killed in Australia after attacking counterterrorism officers

Australian police shot and killed a man after he stabbed two counterterrorism officers today. This came just days after raids involving hundreds of police foiled an imminent plot to behead a member of the public. Australia, a key ally of the United States, is on high alert for attacks by home-grown militants returning from fighting in the Middle East after training with the terror group ISIL.
