Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the shooting and hostage situation that left two men dead in Melbourne
Earlier, the gunman had said “this is for ISIS and al-Qaeda,” but still the police were in doubt, stating that “terrorism was “one line of inquiry.”
Yacqub Khayre was also acquitted of plotting a terror attack at a Sydney army base years earlier.
Another attack to add to those in Manchester and London. Authorities cannot keep pace with jihadists on the loose, thanks to their suicidal immigration policies and denial that the West is in a full-blown war with “radical Islamic terrorism” — a war in which the enemy seeks to kill and be killed or Allah (cf. Qur’an 9:111).
“Isis claims responsibility for Melbourne siege that left two people dead”, by Christopher Knaus & Melissa Davey, The Guardian, June 5, 2017:
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the shooting and hostage situation that left two men dead in Melbourne overnight.
The gunman, named by police on Tuesday as Yacqub Khayre, took a woman hostage in an apartment building in Brighton, 11km south-east of Melbourne’s central business district, on Monday night.
Police shot him dead after he emerged from the complex with a sawn-off shotgun, shooting at officers. They then discovered the body of another man in the foyer of the apartment block.
Three police officers were shot during the siege, although their injuries were not life-threatening. Two police suffered hand injuries and a third was injured in the face and neck area.
The hostage had been called to the apartment through an escort service on Monday, police said. On Tuesday police said the woman was traumatised but not hurt. The dead man had been working at the serviced apartments.
Isis published a statement via a news agency linked to the group, saying the attack had been carried out by one of its soldiers.
“The attack in Melbourne, Australia, was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State in response to the call for targeting the subjects of the coalition states,” said a statement published on the group’s Amaq news agency and translated by Reuters.
The Seven Network reported the gunman called the organisation saying “This is for IS [Islamic State]. This is for al-Qaida.”…..

Anyone who is committing terrorism on behalf of ISIS or Al Qaeda is a traitor and should receive the maximum penalties. This is clearly an act of treason. Losing citizen’s rights should be a part of committing treason. Western countries have to get serious about punishing terrorists.

He was born in Somalia, a ‘cradle Muslim’.
He and / or his parents should never, never, never have been allowed to enter Australia in the first place.
He has been nothing but trouble.
Now, a poor Chinese-Aussie infidel has been murdered, by this f***ing Mohammedan terrorist.
dumbledoresarmy says
All of us Aussie jihadwatchers have to flood ALL our politicians’ in-trays, pointing out the flaming obvious: Got Muslims? Got Jihad.
Cite this bloke as an example. And state flatly: if we STOP importing Muslims NOW, then we won’t get any more like this one, in the future. And if furthermore we kick out ALL Muslims in this country who don’t yet have citizenship, that will also cut the problem down to size. (The hard part is to move our pollies to the point where they HAVE to recognise that ALL active Muslims represent a Fifth Column, EVEN IF they have got Aussie citizenship, even if they have been born here, even if they are *converts* to Islam from whatever kind of infidel Aussie background one might care to name… and that internment and deportation HAVE to be on the table, along with stripping of citizenship).
(At least this particular mohammedan mobster is now dead, dead, dead; good riddance. He can’t cause enormous trouble and expense in long-drawn-out court case, and he can’t do prison dawa.)

Barely covered by the news networks, which are focused on impeaching President Trump.
overman says
Yes, Always On Watch, l was about to say the same thing. ln the UK there’s been very little news, but the Notre Damme Cathedral attack today, in Paris, was on every news outlet. Melbourne is too far away to be taken seriously, l suppose, just like Sweden [l never see anything about Sweden or Norway, only When Trump mentioned it once]. Of course, europe and UK are the main Jihad Targets.

NOTHING about this in The Mainstream Media here in Europe – N O T H I N G.
Nothing.

Islam is a failed religion.
Teach children philosophy and math+science from young age.
Civilize and self-realize. Learn a bit of Sanskrit.

Your children ARE the prize. The objective is to have them wear filthy rags around their
heads and pray towards Mecca 7 times a day. The sward will be held at your throat.
“Convert or die!”

Hold the phone! The obese Somali shrieked before dying that this was a terror attack, ISIS have come forth and gleefully claimed responsibility for it as well. (Although in fairness, they’d claim credit for a plague that killed every dog on the planet too, so methinks they’re just doing their usual opportunistic nonsense from their safe caves.)
But according to the Islamic Council of Australia – this WAS NOT an act of terrorism and it shouldn’t be called as such because it will ‘inflame tensions’ and that the chubby Somali was merely ‘confused’.
Righteo, ICA, I get it. You don’t want Islam being judged for being Islam. You don’t want Muslims being held to account for the POS black hole of depravity masquerading as a religion that all 1.4 billion of them insist on devoting themselves loyally to.
Okey dokey.
My guess is, the ICA could give a flying kangaroo kick for the chunky African, or for the poor victims involved in this. They certainly wouldn’t care about a terror attack being committed in the name of their beloved religion. They just cannot bear to admit the idea of some utter reject jailbird junkie disgrace calling himself a Muslim.
Crime is only acceptable to the ICA you see, when its either
a) ‘pure’ terrorism
b) organized Middle Eastern crime gangs (including Outlaw Motorcycle Groups)
c) tax fraud, welfare fraud, political corruption (see the Mehajer family) etc etc – anything to screw the State
d) the breaking of any other Western law that is in direct contravention of their Sharia Laws. You know, like hacking the clitoris off of little girls so that they are literally incapable of ever enjoying sex, ever, in their lives and view sex with terror and dread due to the pain and suffering they endure every time their ‘husbands’ force themselves on them.
That kind of stuff is A-OK. Home invasions and a meth addiction aren’t glamorous enough or exotic enough for the ICA.
John Magne Trane says
2 men dead?
When one of them was the attacker: One man dead, one scoundrel currently denizen in Hell.
