SYDNEY - Terror links were ruled out after a man set his car alight and rammed it into a police station in Australia, as officials vowed to review security after the scare. "Not every act of violence, even a pre-meditated or carefully planned act of violence, is an act of terrorism." The Australian government lifted its terror threat level to high in September 2014 and recently said nine terror events had been prevented since then. "From what police can determine there is no reason to believe that the event at the Merrylands Police Station last night was a terrorist event and it's important to bear this in mind," he said. Attorney-General George Brandis urged caution against every act of violence being seen as a possible terrorist attack, after early reports of the incident suggested a link.
