US security expert urges terror group vigilance in Indonesia Last Updated 27/02/2007, 16:14:56 An international security conference being held in Australia has been told the Indonesian government needs to do more to stop the social spread of the terrorist group, Jemaah Islamiah (JI). Speaking in the New South Wales capital of Sydney, visiting United States security expert professor Zachary Abuza said while the Indonesian government had done a lot by arresting members of JI, it was not looking at its involvement in charity work. Professor Abuza says the Australian government and others in the region need to be vigilant about the change of JI from a secret society into one that is trying to expand its influence. He says it should be of concern to the Australian government because the Indonesians are probably not taking the matter seriously enough. Australian security chief declines to specify terrorist numbers The Director General of Australia's Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), Paul O'Sullivan, says he does not want to specify how many extreme terrorists there could be in Australia. Speaking at the conference, Mr O'Sullivan said there had been an increase in the number of potential radicals in Australia. He says while Australia's threat level has not changed since 2001, it is feasible an attack could occur. Mr O'Sullivan says he does not want to follow the United Kingdom's lead in outlining exactly what the number of home-grown terrorists could be. +++ ------------------------ Yahoo!
