Task Force created in Africa to counter terror fears from Iran and jihadi groups

South Africa’s Chief Rabbi Dr. Warren Goldstein has created an Anti-Terror Task Force to combat terror from Iran and Jihadi groups globally. The group will also try to protect Christians under attack in Africa.

The "Counter-Terror Task Force" will make recommendations to protect places of worship, schools and community centers.

"South Africa's Jewish community, like other Jewish communities globally, faces heightened risk of terror attacks," Goldstein told Fox News Digital. "The Iranian regime is the world’s chief exponent of state-sponsored terror, and have made it their strategy to target Jewish communities worldwide. With this in mind, the findings of the task force will be applied not just in South Africa, but globally."
