Australian terror attack feasible: A-G

Sydney (AAP) - 11 Sept - A terrorist attack on Australian soil from homegrown terrorists is feasible but there's no evidence there is one planned, Attorney-General Robert McClelland says.
Since the deadly September 11 terrorist attacks in New York a decade ago, Australia had foiled four domestic terrorist attacks, Mr McClelland said.
Of the 38 people charged with planning the attacks, 21 were born in Australia.
"If you're looking at the history, the major threat has been from the so-called homegrown potential terrorists," Mr McClelland told Network Ten on Sunday.
"A terrorist attack is feasible in Australia but there's no specific evidence of an intended one at the current time."
Mr McClelland said each time he signed warrants for investigations into terrorist activity in Australia the material in them raised his concerns.
"But I should stress the scope and focus of the investigation is a very, very narrow group of people but nonetheless they are a group that would be intent on harming their fellow citizens," he said.
Australia had decided not to develop a national security strategy on top of a national security statement because after studying overseas experiences the government had decided it could create confusion.
Mr McClelland said Australia was continuing to work with Indonesia to thwart terrorism and the level of resources to do so was constantly reviewed.
