Australia raises terror alert to ‘High’

australia terror alertAustralia raised its terror alert from “medium” to “high” Friday, the government said, although it cautioned the move was not based on knowledge of a specific attack but rather “a body of evidence that points to the increased likelihood of a terrorist attack in Australia.”

“I want to stress that this does not mean that a terror attack is imminent, we have no specific intelligence of particular plots. What we do have is intelligence that there are people with the intent and the capability to mount attacks,” Prime Minister Tony Abbott told reporters at a news conference.

The raised alert level will mean more security at airports, ports, military bases and large events.

      I thought it was Yankee Advertising for a minute … I can’t imagine Mick Dundee being that full of angst. Or even the average Aussi. Is this something about Monsoons in Queensland – and they just changed the word ‘Flood’ with ‘Terrorist’??

        Nah, this is politically driven 5th, the threat level is still the same.
        It’s a move to try and fit in with the rest of the world while australians percieve that the government is really protecting them from these bad guys with beards lol.

        Nobody who goes overseas to fight is even thinking of coming back let alone cause a small number of muslims in australia to be threatened by killing westerners.

        The lebanese community especially the muslim community is the number one community who has suffered the most phsycologicaly and physically in since australia opened its doors to refugees. (Youtube it there are actually documentaries lol) all of it stems from racism.
