PM Denies Raids Anti-Muslim after 17 Suspected Terrorists Arrested in Sydney and Melbourne, Foiling 'Major Terrorist Attack' [multiple clips]

Seventeen men have been arrested in raids in Sydney and Melbourne, which authorities say have foiled a major terrorist attack. Police allege the men were stockpiling chemicals to be used in bomb making. Nine men were taken into custody in Melbourne, while eight others were arrested in Sydney -- one of them shot by police during the operation. Prime Minister John Howard says the arrests of suspected terrorists in Sydney and Melbourne yesterday were not anti-Muslim. Mr Howard has called for Australian Muslims to reject terrorism after yesterday's arrests.
