Terrorist attack in Melbourne
Reuters reports that Yacqub Khayre may have been planning to ambush police when he assaulted an apartment complex in Melbourne, Australia. ISIS claimed that the Somali immigrant was one of their soldiers and Australia was a target because of that nation’s role in the war against terrorism. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was quick to call it an “act of terrorism”.
Senior officials confirmed that Khayre had been acquitted of a plot to attack a Sydney army base in 2009 and was on parole for a violent home invasion at the time of Monday’s siege.
“This terrorist attack by a known criminal, a man who was only recently released on parole, is a shocking, cowardly crime,” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told reporters in the capital, Canberra.
“It is a terrorist attack and it underlines the need for us to be constantly vigilant, never to be deterred, always defiant, in the face of Islamist terrorism,” he said.
The Guardian reports that the prime minister is questioning why the terrorist was on parole;
The Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull has led calls for an investigation into why a gunman who held a woman hostage while claiming links to Islamic State had been freed on parole just six months earlier.
One man was killed in the attack, his female hostage was uninjured and three policemen were wounded.
By 6pm, Khayre emerged from the ground floor apartment where he had been holding an escort hostage – a 36 year-old Colombian woman unknown to him and who he had arranged to meet him at the complex that afternoon through an agency. He began firing at police who had the building surrounded. Three police officers were injured during the gunfire, and Khayre was killed. His hostage, who remained inside, was uninjured.
The body of the building clerk was found in the reception area of the apartment building, and police said Khayre shot the man dead when he first arrived at the apartment complex. This was likely the cause of the explosion noises reported to police.
It appears that Khayre was tampering with his ankle monitor to lure the police into an ambush.

Australian Black Amish…?
No, no, NO, I say he had to have been a Jehovah’s Witness and he was raising money to buy toys for Orphans!
Dammit. Beat me to the first “the Amish again” comment.

If only someone had given him a job…
He was just reacting to islamophobia…
A movie made him do it…
It’s really the west’s fault for xyz…
This isn’t the religion of peace…
/BHO admin ‘logic’ off
If only someone had hugged/loved him.

If anyone associates terror attacks with islam, they’re a liar. Stevie Wonder.
If someone suggests we need additional security they’re a POS and “a stain on the presidency”. Reza Aslan.
I like this game.
Fake news. He was just a good boy and dindu nuffin. Everybody is prison is a good boy that dindu nuffin which is why society owes them parole!
The whole purpose of prison is to remove offenders from society so they cannot reoffend. Releasing them early defeats the whole purpose of prison.
“Releasing them early defeats the whole purpose of prison”. Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner!
Damn Lutherans have been busy everywhere lately.
Shit like this is why I say that you either KEEP terrorists locked the fuck up (NO special Halal diet while there) or you KILL the damned things, the latter is the perfect cure for terrorists and pedophiles.
0% recidivism for the latter option.
Twist in Hell, cocksucker.
Already on parole for a violent home invasion, and armed. Nice to see that gun control working so well!
Good catch on the ‘gun control’, TOW.
I find it quite intriguing that the terrorist Khayre was able to obtain a firearm to use in his attack in spite of Australia’s hyper-strict ‘gun control’ laws that the clueless U.S. Libtards are constantly pointing at, citing, and seeking to emulate.
As the majority of us here on Team TAH already know, ‘gun control’ laws will never work because only the law-abiding citizens will ever comply with ‘gun control’ laws.
Criminals will never comply.
Scene comes to mind. End of Lethal Weapon 2…”Diplomatic Immunity!” “It’s just been revoked.”
He has a history of violence and he was let out on parole. Then he does it again. When is this “serial violence-prone” thing start to sink in with law enforcement anywhere? And what part of its link to the ME crazies is not clear?
BREAKING: Hammer-wielding man shouting “THIS IS FOR SYRIA!!!” attacked French Police outside of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The perp was shot and wounded after injuring a cop. Media reports the motive for the incident is “completely unknown” at this time…
The motive is completely unknown? Really? Leave it to the French to tend to folk’s feelings.
Not just the French.
The libtards are everywhere, it seems.
Was he blonde? He might have been saying “this is for Sif!” as he weilded his hammer.
Terrorists are like cockroaches. Every country has them. They are in plain sight, but unless they drop on your desk or crawl out of a crack in the wall, you pretend that they don’t exist… until they do something.
In this instance, I’m beginning to subscribe to the Daleks main theme.
Never go full Dalek.
Australia really hasn’t had very good luck with its Muslim immigrants, has it. Of course, who has?
WHAT ? ? ?
He’s NOT ALLOWED, it’s AGAINST THE MANY LAWS OF AUSTRALIA for him to even TOUCH an evil GUN ! OMG, what happened Australia????
Somali? Might there be a pattern developing?
Naw. Couldn’t be.
At least he had the decency to get himself rubbed out this time.
