| Australia raises terror threat level to 'high' for police |
| 2015-01-21 |
| [Ynet] Australia's main domestic security agency has raised the terrorist threat level against police from "medium" to "high" on Tuesday in response to recent international attacks targeting officers. Australian Federal Police said the threat against police as assessed by the Australian Security Intelligence Organization is now equivalent to the threat to the wider Australian community which was lifted to "high" in September last year. "High" is the second highest level on a scale of four. The police statement said an increasing number of Australians have been inspired by groups such as Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... "with the intent and capability to conduct an attack against police." Queensland state Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said there was no single event that led to the raised alert. |
