episode ASIO warns of unprecedented terror threat level cover

Description

Australia's ASIO chief has revealed the agency has disrupted 31 major terror plots since 2014, with 14 occurring in just the last six months. The threats include state-sponsored attacks directed by foreign actors, such as an Australian citizen working for Iran's military who ordered a firebombing in Bondi, and an Australian in Iraq who directed an attack on a Melbourne synagogue. Young men are being rapidly radicalised online through encrypted forums and social media, with ASIO managing 30-40 active cases per week across extreme right-wing plots, Islamic extremist threats, and state-sponsored terrorism.
