"AUSTRALIAN authorities have begun moves to try to prevent Muslim criminals emerging from jail as potential terrorists, as some have overseas. Attorney-General warned the challenge was to prevent those vulnerable to extremist teachings from becoming extremists themselves. "Our agencies tell us that there have been cases overseas where individuals have turned to extremism while in prison and have undertaken later terrorist attacks following their release, or have encouraged others to do so. It is an urgent matter for us to identify ways in which we might intervene earlier in the path to radicalisation that some might take."
