Prime Minister John Howard says the Federal Government has received specific intelligence about a potential terrorist threat in Australia.
At a press conference with Federal Attorney-General Philip Ruddock by his side, Mr Howard would not give further details, citing operational security reasons.
“The Government has received specific intelligence from police information this week, which gives cause for serious concern about a potential terrorist threat,” Mr Howard said.
“I do not intend, and can not, go into any of the operational details. We have seen material, it is a cause for concern.”
