Australia should Keep under Surveillance New Muslim Converts
Australia should keep under surveillance new Muslim converts and those returning from Syria and Iraq after the recent attack in Sydney cafe, Abdul Basit, security analyst associated with the Singapore-based terrorism research center told Sputnik Tuesday.
Australia should “keep an eye on all those who have been involved in any kind of radicalization activity online or off-line,” Basit, senior analyst at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) and a security analyst associated with International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research (ICPVTR) told Sputnik.
Second measure mentioned by the specialist is “keeping an eye on the new converts – those who are converting to Islam. They are the vulnerable segments who can be suspected of [provoking] radicalization and carrying out such attacks”.
