Three men will face court in Melbourne on Monday over an alleged terrorist attack on an Islamic Centre.

The attack on the Imam Ali Islamic Centre at Fawkner late last year left Melbourne’s shiite muslim community devastated.

The building was set on fire and defaced with Islamic State graffiti.

The AFP revealed on Saturday night a 29-year-old Meadow Heights man had been arrested.

He was charged, along with two others who were already in custody over an alleged plot to carry out a terror attack on Christmas day.

Those three, along with a fourth man – charged only over the alleged Christmas day plot – will face court on Monday.
