Queanbeyan stabbing: Counter-terrorism police investigate fatal rampage Updated about an hour ago

Physical evidence found at the scene of a fatal stabbing at a Queanbeyan petrol station has suggested the attack was terrorism related, NSW Police have said.

Key points:

A service station attendant was fatally stabbed
Second man has serious stab wounds, third attacked with tyre iron, fourth bashed with beer bottle
Two teenage boys have been arrested
NSW Police Joint Terrorism Unit now investigating
Two boys, aged 15 and 16, allegedly entered the service station in the early hours of Friday morning and stabbed Pakistani-born 29-year-old employee Zeeshan Akbar.

Emergency services were first alerted by an employee when he arrived at work about midnight to find his co-worker suffering serious stab wounds. Mr Akbar died at the scene and Queanbeyan police said his co-worker was "obviously very shaken". The alleged offenders had become locked inside the store and allegedly smashed their way out a window to escape. Police said the two teenagers were arrested following a police chase about 6:30am. Mr Akbar was one of four victims in a violent rampage that crossed the ACT-NSW border allegedly carried out by the two teens. NSW Deputy Police Commissioner Catherine Burn said evidence pointed to the attack being terror-related. She said the investigation involves NSW Police, the Australian Federal Police, ASIO and the Crime Commission. She also reassured the public during an afternoon press conference that there was "no imminent attack".

Police believe only one of the boys, the 16-year-old, is linked to terrorism, but both are known to police. Ms Burn said the information was received through sources and other information.

Friends grieve 'nicest person'

Friends have been shocked by the violent attack, saying Mr Akbar was a kind and calm person. Mr Akbar's friend Mohammed Shahnawaz went to the scene on Friday to pay his respects, along with a group of men who knew the victim. "Can you believe how bad it is for their family back home in Pakistan?" Mr Shahnawaz said. The men were shaking their heads, trying to understand why the victim had been targeted and said they condemned the attack. Queanbeyan residents have also stopped at the petrol station to lay flowers. Residents there said it was unlike Queanbeyan to witness such a crime. Natania Copp said Mr Akbar served her last night and she was shocked when she learned of his death on Friday morning. "It just hit me in the chest and I was there last night and I didn't know who it was at the time, I just said please, please, please don't let it be my favourite guy," Ms Copp said. "That's why I brought flowers here today just to let the family know that your son was the nicest person that I'd ever met behind a counter."

Local police reassure residents their community is safe

Monaro police commander Superintendent Rod Smith said it appeared the pair, from Queanbeyan, had also been involved in a series of "absolutely horrific" attacks nearby overnight. That allegedly included stabbing another man in the abdomen. He was taken to Canberra Hospital in a serious but stable condition. Police said another man was bashed with a tyre iron in an aggravated break and enter, while yet another was hit with a beer bottle in a nearby park. The pair was also allegedly involved in another attempted robbery at Oaks Estate in the ACT. "It doesn't need to be said but it doesn't get much more serious than this," Superintendent Smith said. "We'd just like to reassure everybody that there are two people that we believe are involved and both of those people are currently in custody."

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull also spoke of the attack, saying the circumstances raised "sufficient concern" to warrant the involvement of the joint counter-terrorism police team. Mr Turnbull said the crime "is shocking and a matter which underlines many of the concerns we have raised in this field". The teenagers are yet to be charged but are expected to face court in the ACT on Saturday morning. Investigators are seeking to extradite the teenagers to NSW, where they will be charged over the fatal stabbing and three other assaults.

OK you poo poo smears can we at least get the narrative straight. On the one hand if this is a terror attack (lol) Then:

1/Someone in the massive terror detection apparatus with so many extraordinary powers that were obtained to prevent these things hosed up royally.
2/You can't declare residents safe when you, failed to detect or stop an attack.

And if it wasn't/isn't a terror attack why are we kicking off with TERROR TERROR Oooooooo.....oooooooOOO Boggie Boggie as our first port of call?

Teenagers known to police do dumb destructive poo poo all the time. If these are the best terror assets we can find then maybe we should stop looking. Compare this response to the response to the Swedish truck attack where the Swedish Prime Minister

quote:

Earlier he had vowed that the Swedish people would stand firm in the face of any threat. 'Terrorists want us to be afraid, want us to change our behaviour, want us to not live our lives normally, but that is what we're going to do. 'So terrorists can never defeat Sweden, never,' he said.

Catherine Burn was carefully qualifying her statements with "what we would argue is a terrorism-related modus operandi". Then said there was no danger to the public. That's a bow so long it's about to snap. If you can make that kind of tangential connection for any crime we may as well make everything terrorism-related.

The ABC posted:

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has described the nation's foreign aid budget as important to Australia's international diplomacy efforts, amid calls to halt funds flowing overseas in the wake of natural disasters in Queensland and New South Wales.

Outspoken Nationals MP George Christensen has argued Queenslanders dealing with the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Debbie are struggling to access Government support payments.

"It's an absolute insult to people who have already suffered horrendous losses to then be abandoned by those who are supposed to help," Mr Christensen said in a statement.

"People had their homes blown to pieces, flooded, and left without electricity for more than 10 days but have been denied disaster relief funding.

"Meanwhile, they hear on the news that Australia has just committed another $320 million in foreign aid to Afghanistan."

Mr Turnbull did not comment directly on Mr Christensen's demands, but said Australia was "a generous and responsible foreign aid donor".

"It is a very important part of our international diplomacy, it's a very important part of our role as a responsible and effective global citizen," the Prime Minister said

"The floods in Queensland have been shocking, and indeed in New South Wales.

"Substantial relief has always been paid by the Commonwealth Government and state governments for disaster relief."

Mr Christensen argued some disaster-relief payments had not been made available to those hit by the cyclone, which range from $5,000 for not-for-profit organisations to $25,000 for farmers.

"Until this is sorted, not one dollar should be spent on foreigners."

He suggested the foreign community would understand the need to prioritise the recovery effort.

Mr Christensen's National party colleague Kevin Hogan made similar calls on Friday. His electorate of Page includes flood-ravaged areas of northern New South Wales.

"We give this money to countries at times when they have problems," he said.

"Well we have our own. I think charity in these cases should begin at home. Once areas like ours have been rebuilt and repaired after a natural disaster, obviously we can resume foreign aid."

I'm not bolding any of that, it's all stupid false equivalence bullshit. If you're so worried about people up there not getting money give them yours you piece of poo poo.

They're wearing Guy Fawkes masks, standing in a square back-to-back, some are holding signs which say TRUTH and others are holding laptops which are playing some kind of video but of course you can't see it in the glare of the sun. None of them are talking or interacting with people. Basically the demonstration I've ever seen as I have no fuckin clue what their message is. Anyone have an idea?

There's also a cop car and a wagon there with four cops standing around looking bemused and bored.
