Sju gripna i antiterrorräder efter kyrkdåd

sju gripna i antiterrorräder efter kyrkdåd

En polis framför kyrkan i Wakely i Sydneys utkanter, där knivhuggningen skedde.

I stora antiterrorräder i Australien har sju personer gripits. De misstänkta har kopplingar till en tonåring som i förra veckan knivhögg en assyrisk biskop.

Polisen beskriver det som att de sju gripna utgör “en risk och ett hot” av oacceptabelt slag.

Tidigare har tonåringen som är gripen för knivhuggningen sagts vara anhängare av en “religiöst motiverad extremistideologi”. Pojken uppges ha ropat muslimska slagord under dådet, och väntas ställas inför rätta för terrorbrott.

Biskopen har vädjat om lugn efter händelsen. Den har skakat om Australiens största stad Sydney, särskilt som den kom bara några dagar efter det att en man huggit ihjäl sex personer i en galleria. Det fallet klassas inte som terrorism, utan ett rent vansinnesdåd.
