Sydney Church Stabbing: Uncovering the Terrorist Attack
The father of the teenager arrested for stabbing an Assyrian bishop during a church service in Sydney reportedly saw no signs of radicalism in his son, according to a community leader. The attack, deemed a terrorist act motivated by suspected religious extremism, has raised fears of persecution within the Assyrian community, with some members having fled their homeland due to religious persecution. The incident has also put the city's Muslim community on alert, with a mosque receiving firebomb threats. Police are seeking to charge individuals who attacked emergency crews after the stabbing, and the bishop, who has faced criticism and online trolling, has been injured in the attack.
