3 Father-Son Duo Terror Suspects Reportedly Pledged Allegiance to ISIS Before Bondi Beach Attack

4 From Skidmark’s second Breitbart article:

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that suspected terrorist Naveed Akram, 24, first came to the attention of authorities in 2019 and had been the focus of a six-month investigation by the ASIO domestic intelligence agency over alleged ties to a local Australian ISIS group.

“He was examined on the basis of being associated with others, and the assessment was made that there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence,” Albanese said per the Sydney Morning Herald.

The paper reported that Akram, who was injured during the attack and remains in police custody, was initially flagged for allegedly accessing extremist content online and consorting with other radicals.

Public broadcaster ABC reported that intelligence officials had tied him to ISIS terrorist Isaac El Matari, who is currently in prison for plotting a jihadist insurgency in Australia.

Additionally, the Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) is reported to believe that Naveed and his father, Sajid Akram, who died during the attack on Sunday, had previously pledged allegiance to ISIS. A JCTT also told the public broadcaster that an ISIS flag was also found in their car on Sunday.

On Monday, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said that Naveed Akram is an Australian-born citizen. Although Burke admitted that the senior Akram had immigrated to Australia in 1998 as a student and later obtained a resident-return visa, he refused to disclose from which country he originally hailed.

Meanwhile, the father-son duo are reported to have visited the Philippines in November. A prominent ISIS affiliate, the Islamic State of East Asia (ISEA), operates in the country and has been proscribed by the Australian government as a terror group since 2017. It is currently unclear if any contact was made between the Akrams and ISEA during their trip.

On Monday, the leftist Albanese government in Canberra said that it plans on further tightening Australia’s strict gun control laws after it was revealed that Sajid Akram was a licensed owner of six firearms. The prime minister said that his government will consider automatically expiring licenses and will work to complete the long-mooted national gun registry.

It seems to me Australia needs to pass a second law, this one mandating that every Jewish family be required to own and be trained to use a gun, so they can be responsible for both home defense and whenever they enter public spaces. Since the Australian police clearly can’t be trusted to protect against attack.

5 "So a father/son team, ISIS-afflilated, armed to the teeth, and on tourist VISAs. Let's let them in and see how it plays out." -- Feckless Australian Authorities

6 Better yet TW, Australia (and all western nations for that matter) need to throw out the muzzy trash that is taking over our countries like mold.

Keep Islam in the 3rd world shitholes where it belongs.

7 How does a person on a tourist visa get to legally have firearms in significantly gun-controlled Australia? I don't even think you can do that in most of the US.

9 President Trump moved the Overton Window on the subject, DarthVader. After this and closed Christmas markets in Germany, conversations will be changing, I hope.

Regular joe, Papa Paki came in 1998 as a student, per Skidmark’s link, then exchanged it for what Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke called a resident-return visa, which sounds to me like legal permanent residency. Everyone saying he’s here on a tourist visa — including all our previous information — are wrong. Still, letting the situation stand when Sonny Boy was known to hang out in ISIS circles, was demonstrably dumb.

Sonny Boy was born in Australia.

10 After all the evidence that has been presented, I am amazed that some people still don't think we need a travel ban for some of the rogue nations in this world. Pakistan, Somalia, Gaza, Lebanon, Iran and Chechnya come to mind immediately. I'm sure there are many others. Maybe only a small percentage of those people are terrorists but enough of them are to conclude that the risk of letting any of them come here is way too great, especially when there is absolutely no possible benefit.

11 I'm sure there are many others.

Albanian mob
Russian mob
Columbian mob
Balkan mob
Cartel mob
Antifa mob
BLM mob
...

That's like banning guns. They won't be offended.
Enforcing laws against people, that's problematic.
