A 26-YEAR-OLD Sydney man was allegedly trying to travel to a foreign conflict zone to engage in terrorist acts, a court has heard.

The New South Wales counter-terrorism squad swooped on Nowroz Rayed Amin at his Ingleburn home in the city’s southwest on Saturday morning, said the Australian Federal Police.

He was taken to Campbelltown Police station and charged with three offences — two of them terror related.

Court documents show the man was allegedly preparing and planning for a terrorist act between September 2015 and February 2016.

It is also alleged that during April 2015 and February 2016 Amin was having conversations about travelling to declared areas to engage in hostile activities as well as enquiring about getting weapons and material on how to make weapons, court papers show.
