‘High’ alert: Australia ups terror threat level as intelligence warns of ISIS-related attack — RT News

"The terror threat level in Australia has been raised to ‘high’ for the first time since its inception 11 years ago. Prime Minister Tony Abbott divulged little information, but made clear there is a danger of ISIS-related attacks on home soil.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organization’s (ASIO) raising of the terror threat level to high is an indication that an attack may take place, the PM revealed to reporters in Melbourne. However, he cautioned also that, at this time, “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… people who are overseas fighting, people who have already come home, and people who are in Australia. These are people of real security concern.”"
