    It is ironical the defence personnel alleged to have been threatened by "middle easterners" with gusto. However no headlines for a person alleged to have run into an Islamic college and threatening teacher and students with a knife. You can find it in the article covering the adf alleged attack. The issue is the sensationalising of the events which creates more angst. The reality is the asio does a fine job with our protective forces and first responders without the need for the media to highlight it, making them an easy target for the recruiters of radicals. Think of what a radical would say to the brainwashed follower- he will point Out to the perceived bias 800 to 2 charged. It sounds worse because the 800 were spread over many operations but a skilled manipulator on both sides can achieve whatever their objective is.
