'An terrorism expert says he believes the alleged activities of the groups targeted in the raids fall well short of terrorism.
International terrorism expert Paul Buchanan says there is no evidence to suggest that the police are dealing with domestic terrorism in the case of the raids carried out throughout New Zealand on Monday.
“I think it falls far short of terrorism. You have to think about it this way, we were fortunate that no shots were fired, but that tells you something about the nature of the threat,” says Buchanan.'
