Police chief confirms former spymaster’s claim of 60 Islamic extremists in Australia

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Dozens of Islamic extremists are involved in terrorist cells in Australia, the federal police commissioner confirmed Wednesday after a former spymaster claimed it was only a matter of time before an attack in Australia.

Michael Roach, a senior official who recently retired from the Australian Security Intelligence Organization, said Australia is facing an imminent risk of a terrorist attack and has called for more extreme counterterrorism powers.

He said Australia’s two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, are home to Islamic extremists who have received specialized training from terrorist groups overseas.

“Perhaps the number is around 50 or 60 in Australia that are working in separate cells,” Roach told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. late Tuesday. “The threat is real. It’s a matter of when this (an attack) will happen.”

The would-be terrorists had developed a high degree of precision in their methods of assault, Roach said.

Mick Keelty, the commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, confirmed Roach’s allegations about the number of suspected terrorists operating in Australia, saying the figures were “not news to the intelligence community.”
