2 stabbing attacks in NSW, Australia, one by a mental case, the other by a Muslim
Police in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) have identified the assailant who stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center on Saturday afternoon before he was shot dead.This is most truly abominable, but if that wasn't a terrorist attack, what followed a few days later most definitely was. Now, another stabbing attack occurred at a Christian church in the same city, and this one appears to have been committed by a jihadist:
Australia-born Joel Cauchi, 40, was responsible for the attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
NSW Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters at a media conference on Sunday Cauchi suffered from yet unspecified mental health issues and police investigators weren’t treating the attack as terrorism-related.
“We are continuing to work through the profiling of the offender but very clearly to us at this stage it would appear that this is related to the mental health of the individual involved,” Cooke said. [...]
Six people — five women and one man, aged between 20 and 55 — were killed in the attack and 12 others remain in hospital, including a nine-month-old child, whose mother died during the attack.
Sydney has been shaken by another stabbing attack with a priest and worshippers assailed by a knife-wielding man Monday in a suburban church.Here's more (via Jihad Watch):
Bishop Mari Emmanuel was preaching a live-streamed sermon at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in the city’s west when a man dressed in black approached the altar and allegedly stabbed the Christian Orthodox priest multiple times.
Horrifying footage of the incident, which was being broadcast live on the church’s YouTube page, shows Bishop Emmanuel look up in astonishment as the attacker suddenly rains down blows on his face and head, news.com.au reports.
Sky News and the ABC both report the 15-year-old had been on bail facing several offences, including possessing a flick knife, stalking and property damage, until facing court in January.All that does is make clear it's bad news when anybody of this sort converts to such a belief system. The creep likely did that to serve as an identity politics and protected class shield. That's what'll bring down the world for real very soon.
The crimes were proven but dismissed in favour of a good behaviour bond, which remained active when he allegedly stabbed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel at the Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley the city’s west at 7.10pm last night.
Police described the alleged attack as a “terrorist act”.
Meanwhile, furious police have vowed to track down every “un-Australian” thug who attacked officers while they responded to the alleged terror attack, in scenes that rocked the nation.
Two separate task forces have been established after a 16-year-old male allegedly stabbed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel at the Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley the city’s west at 7.10pm last night.
One will probe the recent background of the alleged attacker, who was captured on a livestream of the bishop’s sermon shouting “Allahu Akbar” as he stabbed the bishop in the head, neck and torso at least eight times.
The bishop and priest Father Isaac Royel, who was also stabbed, remain in hospital in a stable condition. [...]
There is some confusion about what the teen says in response as it seems he was speaking in broken Arabic. According to reports, he had recently converted to Islam.
However, at a press conference in Canberra today, ASIO Director General Mike Burgess said the intelligence agency was aware of alleged remarks made by the teen referring to the bishop having offended the prophet Muhammad….
In another video circulating on social media, one of the men who helped to hold the teen down tells a female police officer that he “ran and grabbed him from behind and just pushed him down”.
“He kept saying: ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar’,” he tells the officer.
My condolences to all victims of the offenders.
