Spy chief says Australia may raise terror threat

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia may elevate its terrorism threat to the second highest level within days because of the growing danger posed by Islamic State group supporters, the national domestic spy chief said.

Australian Security Intelligence Organization Director-General David Irvine said Australia’s terrorist threat level could be lifted from “medium” to “high” before he retires after five years in office at the end of this week.
