Yet another follower of the Religion of Peace has gone on yet another murderous rampage in Australia, this time in Brisbane. Only the quick actions of police prevented more deaths.
An accused ISIS supporter is suspected to have snapped and murdered an elderly couple in their Brisbane home, before being shot dead lunging at police with a knife, more than two years after first coming to the attention of counter-terror investigators.
State and federal police said on Friday that they were jointly investigating the actions of 22-year-old Raghe Mohamed Abdi as an act of lone-wolf terrorism.
Mr Abdi was found with an item police believed was from the home of murdered couple Maurice and Zoe Antill, who were in their 80s, directly linking the two incidents […]
The Antills suffered significant injuries. They were found dead in their home at Parkinson in Brisbane’s south around 3pm Thursday after failing to attend a medical appointment.
Nine hours earlier, police received reports of a man walking on the Logan Motorway at Drewvale, disrupting traffic.
Two officers were trying to coax Mr Abdi off the road when he threatened them with a knife, shouting “Allahu Akbar” shortly before being shot.
Australians might be justified in asking why this jihadi was even in Australia any more.
Mr Abdi “first came to notice in 2018”, [Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Scott] Lee said.
In May last year, counter-terrorism officers arrested Mr Abdi at Brisbane’s international airport as he waited to board a flight to Somalia with a one-way ticket.
Police suspected Mr Abdi was going to Somalia to fight with terror group al-Shabaab, but he was released without charge due to insufficient evidence, Mr Lee said.
His passport was cancelled, and in June last year he was charged with refusing to hand over his mobile phone’s passcode.
In court, he refused to answer the magistrate or acknowledge the court’s authority and was remanded in custody. He was granted bail on September 3 this year.
Is it just me, or does it strike anyone that letting him take his one-way trip back to Somalia would have meant that two Australians would still be alive?
What’s even more telling is just who was willing to back him.
In 2014, Mr Abdi was praised by federal Labor MP Jim Chalmers in parliament after setting up a school unity council with another student.
The two students were “fine young men … concerned about the impact of events overseas on the way we treat each other here at home”, Mr Chalmers said at the time.
Mr Abdi‘s lawyer, Terry O’Gorman, has said there was no evidence he was radicalised.
No evidence… except for the whole butchering-pensioners-and-shouting-the-magic-words thing.
Still, he was a good boy and didn’t do nuthin’, according to some.
“My son was a very peaceful minded person. He has never put his hand on anybody in his life[,”said his father, Mohammed Abdi…]
Police shot his son “because of his ethnicity”, he said.
“I believe if my son was from an Anglo community, and he was walking there yesterday on the street, and he needed help, the response would have been different,” he said.
The Australian
But, this is all very odd, because the media keep shouting that it’s “right-wing extremists” who are the real terror threat.
Just ignore who keeps on committing the actual terrorist attacks.
