CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - Australian authorities have received specific intelligence that terrorists are planning an attack on the country, Prime Minister John Howard said Wednesday.
Speaking in a nationally televised press conference in Canberra, Howard refused to give any details of the threat, which he said authorities received this week.
But he said he would introduce a minor amendment to counterterrorism laws in the House of Representatives on Wednesday afternoon and the Senate would be recalled Thursday to pass it into law.
