ISIS Threatened Bioterror in Australia Before Melbourne Attack, Vows More Attacks Coming

The network of ISIS-supporting groups waging an online propaganda, incitement and recruitment campaign quickly seized upon the terror group's official claim of a Friday attack in central Melbourne with a vow to strike the country "however we want."

The new call for attacks follows material issued several weeks before the Bourke Street rampage, which encouraged jihadists to concentrate on poisoning Australia's food supplies.

A 31-year-old man crashed a blue pickup loaded with gas canisters onto a sidewalk today and then jumped out and stabbed three people. ABC News in Australia reported that one man died at the scene and two were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

The attacker, who was shot by police and died at the hospital, reportedly was known to intelligence authorities. Police have since tightened security around central Melbourne while stating that they know of no "ongoing threat at the moment."

Probably not much chance for an armed citizen to put a stop to one of these attacks huh? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Tear down the mosques. Boot out the Muslims.

There is no reason for them to be there in the first place.

But, we can follow the progressive train of thought regarding bad things.

If food is considered dangerous, just ban food.

Works with guns all the time. /s

I’m trying to figure out why they are mad at Australia? UN actions? Sanctions? Local terrorism or anti-islam laws?

I haven’t heard much from down under, would you happen to know?

ISIS is a fundamental Islamic organization. That is they will do what Allah wants done, and will follow the examples set by Allah's prophet Muhammad.

Anyone who is not a Muslim must be subjugated, converted to Islam or killed.
This is spelled out in the Koran, the Hadiths and the examples set by Muhammad.

Australians, like us and the Europeans are not Muslims and show no inclination to become Muslims. So we will be targeted until we submit to Islam. - Tom

Thank you... I understand their religious doctrine. I was just curious if maybe something triggered a more focused effort towards Australia like they have us.

One of the Islamic advocacy groups In Australia were quick to go after the Australian headlines stating that it breached the Press Council's guidelines on the use of religious terms in headlines. ‬

The killer was a Somali man known to ASIO and that his relative was arrested last year on 'terrorism charges'...

"Thought maybe something recent may have triggered a more focused effort towards Australia."

Osama bin Laden targeted Australia before the Sept 11, 2001 attack in the U.S. Do a quick search on "2000 Olympics Nuclear Laden" and you'll find plenty of 18 year old articles about the planned attack on the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor to kill international visitors at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

The reason these attacks happen and will continue to happen is the same. PC garbage. We keep importing these freaks due to leftwing dominance of social policy in this country. In the bureaucracy, acadamia and the media. This is the same cocktail in every western country. And the result is the same. The muslim freak who did this was on the radar. But our intelligence services are terrified by the media. Each and every day I loathe the media a little more. They enable and facillitate these attacks by stifling, ridiculing and suppressing voices that warn about the dangers of muslim immigration.

The Lucas Heights reactor in Sydney has been attacked since the foiled 2000 attempt.

He was known? So why did they sit on their hands until he killed people?

Ah yes: taking preemptive action against terrorists of a certain persuasion is now a "hate crime"

So we can "virtue signal" even as we bury our dead.
