Australian Muslims fear fallout from terror warnings

There's concern within some of Australia's Muslim communities about the impact of a possible elevation in Australia's terrorism threat rating.

There's concern within some of Australia's Muslim communities about the impact of a possible elevation in Australia's terrorism threat rating.

Two men have been arrested in a Brisbane Islamic bookshop over terror-related offences, and the domestic intelligence agency ASIO says it's considering raising the alert and introducing new counter-terrorism measures.

The federal government says it's not targeting Muslim communities.
