Australia warns of Al-Qaeda 'terrorist' threat SYDNEY -- - Australia has received a credible threat that a terrorist attack linked to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network will be launched against it in the next two months, the government warned on Tuesday. Justice Minister Chris Ellison said the threat was similar to others received by the United States and Britain. He refused to detail its source or explain how the government knew it was credible, but said it was linked to Al-Qaeda. 'The information, whilst general and not specific as to target and timing is nonetheless credible,' he told reporters. He said information possibly relating to Australia was received on Nov 14 and further information on Nov 18 added to the credibility of the first. 'As a consequence, the government has decided to advise the general public of the alert,' he said. But Mr Ellison said the threat was not linked to Australian citizen Jack Roche, who appeared before a court in Perth on Tuesday charged with plotting to bomb Israeli missions in Australia. Roche, a British-born convert to Islam, had freely claimed in an interview with The Australian newspaper to have been trained to use explosives by the Al-Qaeda terrorist network. The bearded Roche, 49, was arrested on Nov 18 after being interviewed by federal police as part of Australia's anti-terrorist crackdown in which homes of Muslim Indonesians were raided. Roche denied through lawyer Robert Mazza two charges of conspiracy to bomb the Israeli embassy in Canberra and consulate in Sydney as he appeared amid tight security before Perth Magistrates Court. But he was not required to make a formal plea and was remanded in custody until Nov 27. -- AFP
