Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The attack on parishioners and the bishop of a Christian church in Sydney has been declared an act of terrorism. This statement was made on April 15 by the Prime Minister of the Australian state of New South Wales, Chris Minns.
| We originally had this story from the Daily Mail as a link in comments two days ago, where the parties on the receiving end were identified as “Assyrian religious leader Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was preaching at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley in Sydney's west …” and the young miscreant was not identified at all… |
As Minns explained, state police reported overnight that the attack had been classified as a terrorist incident.
“Operational police units were tasked with investigating the terrorist attack and riots that occurred near the church. Resources have also been allocated to work with other faith-based organizations and structures across Sydney to avoid retaliation or retaliatory violence,” Minns said.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb explained that the 16-year-old who attacked the churchgoers was motivated by “extremist motives” and the decision to label the incident a terrorist attack was dictated by the attacker’s behavior. Webb added that investigators believe the attacker sought to intimidate the public and his motives were “in the nature of religious extremism.”
Regnum previously reported that a man attacked Bishop Marie Emmanuel with a knife during a service at Christ the Holy Shepherd Catholic Church in Sydney's west. The injured clergyman was hospitalized. Two more parishioners were injured.
After the incident, about 500 people gathered near the church, demanding that the attacker be handed over to them. The police officers who arrested him and the doctors who arrived at the scene were forced to barricade themselves in the church building. As a result, two police officers were injured, 20 patrol cars were damaged, and ten cars were completely destroyed.
In Sydney, on April 13, a man with a knife attacked visitors to a shopping center; law enforcement officers eliminated him. As a result of the attack, six people were killed and eight more were injured. The man is believed to have acted alone. The embassy in Australia and the Russian consulate general in Sydney reported that they did not have information about Russians injured in the attack.
The Australian TV channel 7NEWS, citing eyewitnesses, reported that the man who was not afraid to fight back against the attacker in a shopping center in Sydney was a Russian.
