Police conducted nine counterterrorism raids in the Brisbane and Logan areas, including at the iQraa Islamic Centre, and arrested Agim Kruezi, 21, and Omar Succarieh, 31, who are suspected of recruiting and fundraising for the Al Nusrah Front in Syria. Succarieh is the older brother of Abu Asma al Australi, who is thought to be the first Australian suicide bomber to die in Syria. David Irvine, Australia’s spy chief, said earlier this week that the country’s terrorism threat level may be raised from medium to high due to the threat posed by Australian jihadists both at home and abroad.
