(AAP) A Melbourne man made a jihadi video in which he brandished a knife, talked of spilling blood, and pledged allegiance to Islamic State, a court has heard.
Two brothers, Aran Sherani, 21, and Ari Sherani, aged 20, have been charged with attempting to engage in a terrorist act.
The court heard Aran Sherani had made 25 videos, some of which were posted on Instagram.
Early on the day of his arrest last March, he allegedly bought a knife from a Coles supermarket in Melbourne’s north, before making an online video in which he swears allegiance to Islamic State.
Prosecutor Brett Sonnet said he recorded himself smiling while he brandished the knife, spoke of spilling blood, and expressed a desire to engage in violent jihad.
