CANBERRA, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- The Australian government on Wednesday said it was taking Islamic State's (IS) most recent online threat to Australia very seriously, with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull confirming the nation's counter-terror agencies were working hard to maintain safety at major landmarks and sporting stadiums. On Tuesday, local media reported that an IS magazine had called on Australian "lone wolf" terrorists to kill Australians at famous landmarks as well as in "their backyards." "Kill them on the streets of Brunswick, Broadmeadows, Bankstown, and Bondi. Kill them at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), the Opera House, and even in their backyards," the article in the Rumiyah magazine said. On Wednesday, Turnbull described the article as a ploy to make the terror organization seem larger than it is, after it was reported IS had been forced to retreat from strongholds in the Middle East. The prime minister said as IS's influence in the Middle East wanes, the group's leaders will continue to encourage more "lone wolf" style attacks to maintain pressure on the west. "As (Islamic State) comes under more and more pressure on the battlefield in Syria and in Iraq as it is rolled back, as its territory is being taken back it will resort to terrorist activities outside of the Middle East," he told the press. "The capacity of IS, of course, is much less than they proclaim it to be." Despite the positive progress coalition forces were making in the Middle East, Turnbull said Australians must remain vigilant as counter-terrorism bodies work to disrupt any potential attack on domestic soil. "But we do have to be very alert to the actions of these lone actors individuals who, as I've described in the national security statement last week, for a variety of reasons, may be radicalized," Turnbull said. "(They are) often associated with mental illness, frankly, can be radicalized very quickly and engage in very destructive, lethal conduct, as we saw in Nice, for example." In addition to the prime minister's comments, the nation's Minister for Counter Terrorism, Michael Keenan, said the powers given to counter-terror bodies in Australia were continuing to keep Australians safe, despite the constant threat of terror. He said despite the magazine mentioning football stadiums and tourist attractions, major events would be safe. "People do need to be mindful that we are living in a security environment that is worse than it used to be two years before, but we do have agencies that we've given powers to, that we've given resources to, that are capable of protecting us from this threat," Keenan told the Nine Network on Wednesday morning. "We've given (counter-terror organizations) resources and we've given them extra powers to deal with this and we do take appropriate measures to make sure that any footy final, or any place where there'd be a lot of people gathering does have appropriate protections," Keenan said. Adam Scott has been contacted by about 100 caddies offering their services but the world No.2 is in no hurry to appoint a replacement for Steve Williams. Scott's bag is probably the second most-coveted behind world No.1 Rory McIlroy. The job became available when Williams Cheap Jordan 12 Retro For Sale , who previously worked for Tiger Woods, decided he wanted to cut back on the number of tournaments he caddied in Cheap Jordan 12 Shoes For Sale , which did not fit with Scott's requirements. Scott sounded surprised that some of the caddies wanting to work for him are currently employed by other successful -players, but that only speaks volumes for the coveted -nature of the job working for the 34-year-old Australian. If the 2013 Masters champion maintains his form of the past couple of seasons Cheap Jordan 12 For Sale , his new caddie can expect to make at least $500,000 next year. "I've had some really cracking [offers] come through Air Jordan 12 Retro Shoes For Sale , which makes you wonder," Scott told Reuters at Sheshan Golf Club in Shanghai on Tuesday as he prepared for this week's WGC-HSBC Champions tournament. He used Eddie Gardino at the Japan Open last month and will employ David Clark in Shanghai this week and at the Australian Masters in Melbourne later this month. However Air Jordan 12 Retro For Sale , he says he plans to trial several other caddies over the next few months before settling on a full-time replacement before the Masters rolls around in April. Scott says he is seeking someone whose personality he gels with and who has the knack of giving good advice -under pressure. "I'm testing personalities. That's why I need a little more time to make a good decision," Scott said. "You can be the best player and do all the right things Air Jordan 12 Shoes For Sale , but there is only one other person who can influence you on the golf course and that is the -caddie. "Whatever he says, whatever comes out of his mouth or doesn't come out of his mouth can influence you Air Jordan 12 For Sale , so it's an extremely important role when you play at this level." Scott is the highest-ranked player in the WGC-HSBC field in the absence of McIlroy, who has pulled out to focus on his legal battle with his previous management company. By Oliver Trust BERLIN Jordan 12 Retro Shoes For Sale , March 29 (Xinhua) -- If there had been something like a post-World Cup crisis, Germany gave a convincing answer in their EURO 2016 qualifier this Sunday with a 2-0 (2-0) win over Georgia. Marco Reus (39th) and Thomas Mueller (45th) scored the winning goals for head coach Joachim Loew's team in Georgia's capital Tiflis.
