Australian police are treating a stabbing at a Sydney church as a terrorist attack, New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb said on Tuesday.
A bag left unattended by a trader led to a scare at Dalhousie Chowk area of Pathankot town in Punjab on Thursday morning, police said.
People were asked to move away from the spot as the police checked the bag. But it was found to contain nothing suspicious.
"It contained some batteries. A trader had left it unattended following a tiff with someone. He is being questioned. There is no terror angle to it," a police officer said.
