Two men and a teenager have pleaded guilty to plotting a terrorist attack on government buildings, including police headquarters, in Sydney almost three years ago.
Jibryl Almaouie, 23, and Sulayman Khalid, 22, pleaded guilty in the NSW Supreme Court in Parramatta on Monday to conspiring to carry out an act of terror in late 2014.

Three other men implicated in the plan, Mohammed Almarie, Farhad Said and Ibrahim Ghazzawi, all pleaded guilty in April to the lesser charge of knowingly making a document likely to facilitate a terrorist act.
The trio who pleaded guilty on Monday did not stand when Justice Geoff Bellew entered the courtroom. Neither did their families watching from the public gallery.

"Not guilty, oh sorry, I mean guilty," Khalid said upon entering his plea to the charge.
Khalid and Almaouie were remanded in custody, while lawyers for the teen argued his strict bail should be continued, but Justice Bellew revoked it.
