Terror Threats Evolve, ASIO Adapts | Perth News
Description
Twenty-five years after 9/11, Australia’s spy chief Mike Burgess warns that transnational terrorism is resurging, with groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS leveraging the internet and physical spaces to target Western interests. While large-scale attacks are rarer, smaller, decentralized threats—ranging from anti-Semitic plots to racist violence—are on the rise. Since 2014, ASIO has foiled 33 major terror plots, including 16 since last December, highlighting a shift toward more diverse, harder-to-track dangers. Burgess emphasizes that vigilance and constant adaptation are critical as the threat landscape evolves.
