Australia attack: 7 dead in stabbing rampage by subject known to cops

A man went on a stabbing spree at a shopping Westfield Shopping Mall in Bondi Junction, Sydney Australia. Seven people were killed as was the gunman, and a 9-month old baby was injured, her heroic mother who protected her baby was among the murdered and multiple others were wounded.

The attacker was known to the police who claim they have no clue what the motive could be for someone to kill strangers in a mall at the end of Ramadan. The attack took place in a Jewish area directly next to an Israeli restaurant.

Police say they are also looking for a possible second attacker.

A heroic female police officer fatally shot the knife-wielding jihadi.

The call of the attack came in around 3:30 p.m. local time after the suspect "moved around the center" at around 3:10 p.m.

A nearby officer was alerted of the attack by fleeing shoppers and confronted the suspect when he was on “level five” of the mall.

“He turned, faced her, raised a knife, and the officer opened fire, killing the suspect,” a witness recalled.

Australia’s Prime Minster Anthony Albanese praised the bravery of the lone female police officer for entering the mall “by herself” and killing the suspect before he could cause any more harm to innocent civilians.

“She is certainly a hero. There is no doubt that she saved lives,” Albanese said.

This latest attack fits the pattern of multiple jihad attacks that have been happening in Europe and even in the United States over the past years. The Islamic State and al-Qaeda have been calling for Muslims to mount attacks like this, so it is very suspicious. Of course it could be otherwise, but my money is that it's anti-Semitic jihad.

As we learn more, if the police are willing to tell us more, the motive, if discovered, will be revealed. 

It has now been stated that the attacker acted alone [with the support of all Islamic extremists].
