Farhad Jabar, the son of Iraqi Kurdish refugees who arrived in Australia 15 years ago, shot Curtis Cheng, a civilian police accountant, outside NSW Police headquarters in Parramatta, in Sydney’s western suburbs, just metres from his school, the Arthur Phillip High School. Special constables immediately shot and killed the teenager, admitting they had no intention of just injuring him.... Despite the lack of credible evidence, the government, police, and media declared Jabar’s deeply disoriented action (?) a “terrorist attack,” attempting to link it to local mosques and Islamic organisations while combing social media, targeting the boy’s school friends, acquaintances and other youth for evidence of collusion....  Murdoch’s tabloid Daily Telegraph, “Police believe gunman was no lone wolf but part of extremist pack.” ...schoolmates were subjected to police questioning in the school’s library and a 17-year-old student was surrounded by four heavily armed officers as he was walking to school, because of comments he had posted on social media. After hours of questioning, the youth was subsequently arrested, and charged with assaulting and intimidating police, two counts of resisting arrest and using a carriage to menace, harass and offend. His family home in Guildford was raided yesterday evening.
The student’s Facebook postings, made last Friday, the day of the shootings, made no mention of Islam, but expressed deep hostility to the police. One said that Merrylands (one of the areas raided) police station “is next, hope they all burn in hell.” On Saturday, he posted a photo of himself with the comment: “No justice, no peace, f**k the police.” A Sunni-based Islamic group, which police alleged was linked to Jabar, declared on Monday that such allegations were “so groundless and absurd, they deserve naught but derision.” The statement by Hizb ut-Tahrir, which organised a demonstration last Sunday against the US and Russian bombing of Syria, went on to say that while “actions like the Parramatta shooting are plainly wrong,” the “real cause of violence is western foreign and domestic policy.” It went on to predict, “No doubt government authorities will milk this shooting to justify further insidious intervention in the Muslim community and further policing of Muslim youth,” a prediction that was rapidly confirmed.... important factors motivating a 15-year-old boy to carry out such a terrible act.... (socialist explanation of root causes...) In reality, radicalization, which, in the majority of cases, is another word for a rapidly growing sense of alienation from and opposition to the current social order among many millions of youth in Australia and internationally, is not “inexplicable” at all....today’s working class youth, Muslim or otherwise, face a likely future of unemployment, financial insecurity, lack of a decent education, no possibility of owning or even renting their own home, and little or no access to culture and entertainment... youth unemployment in Parramatta it is over 18 percent.

Police who trawled his Facebook and twitter accounts apparently found only that, until 2013, he liked The Simpsons, Ricky Martin, Delta Goodrem, Hugh Jackman and other Australian singers..Whatever the 15-year-old’s immediate motivation for such a destructive, tragic and brutal action as the killing of Curtis Cheng, it was, in the final analysis, the product of deep and profoundly troubling social causes.  Australian police kill 15-year-old in purported “terror” incident  Oct 5, 2015 - Australian police kill 15-year-old in purported “terror” incident ...

2015 Parramatta shooting - Wikipedia  12/29/2015

On 2 October 2015, Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar, a 15-year-old boy, shot and killed Curtis Cheng, an unarmed police civilian finance worker, outside the New South Wales Police Force headquarters in ParramattaAustralia. Jabar was subsequently shot and killed by special constables who were protecting the police station.
Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione described the event as a politically motivated act of terrorism.

Background[edit]

In the days leading up to the shooting, police reported that there had been an increase of "chatter" about a potential attack occurring.[1] An alert had been circulated to all police, ordering them to wear their firearms on them at all times, even at their desk.[2] Police are believed to have had intelligence of a potential attack on the Parramatta headquarters up to 12 months ago, although it was unknown if that was linked to the 2 October incident.[2] In the days before the shooting, police and security officers had seen an individual taking photographs of the entrance to Police Headquarters.[3]
The NSW Police headquarters is home to several crime commands, including those of the homicide, drug, Middle Eastern Organised Crime, and various gang squads. It is still unknown if these were the potential targets of the gunman.[2] Police investigated the crime as a "terrorism offence."[4]

Shooting[edit]

On 2 October 2015, a 15-year-old boy carried a S&W .38 revolver to the street outside the State Crime Command headquarters at Parramatta, walking past an unarmed plainclothes female detective. At 4:30 p.m., the assailant killed 58-year-old unarmed police civilian accountant Curtis Cheng as he was walking out of the building. The shooter remained at the scene and continued firing into the police headquarters. He was shot dead by one of three special constables who responded to the shooting.[5][6][7]

Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar (25 January 2000 – 2 October 2015), an Iranian-born boy of Iraqi Kurdish background, was identified as the shooter. He was not known to police, and just prior to the attack he had visited a local mosque, where he listened to a lecture by extremist Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir.[8] A report by Peter Lloyd on PM argued that Jabar had visited Bukhari House, which promotes the views of Feiz Mohammad.[9]
Jabar lived in North Parramatta and was a Year 10 student at Arthur Phillip High School.[10] He was in the same year as a student who in 2014 flew an ISIL flag though Western Sydney.[11] He was described by classmates as quiet, often upset-looking, solitary, obedient, humble, occasionally bullied, and good at basketball. His neighbours called him a "normal" kid.[12][13]
Investigations into Jabar's motivations for the attack were ongoing, but it is suspected "there was some influence" that was of an ideological, religious, or political nature.[14]
Jabar was buried in Rookwood Cemetery.[15][16]

Aftermath[edit]

ABC News reported that Jabar's sister Shadi went missing on 1 October and may have flown out of the country to Istanbul, possibly en route to Syria or Iraq.[17]
On 4 October 2015, police raided the Parramatta mosque. It was reported that Jabar would frequently skip school to attend prayers at the mosque.[18]
On 6 October 2015, police arrested another student of Arthur Phillip High School for allegedly posting offensive and threatening material on Facebook in support of the shooting.[19] On the next morning, 200 counter-terrorism police raided four homes near Parramatta and arrested four males.[20] Three of the four males were later released.[14]
On 15 October 2015, police re-arrested, and charged, Talal Alameddine, 22, with supplying a firearm, breaching a firearms prohibition order and hindering police. Almeddine was one of the three previously released. The one man held since 6 October,[21] Raban Alou, 18, was charged with aiding, abetting, counselling and procuring the commission of a terrorist act.[22][23] Counter-terrorism sources have said that the case against the two men is circumstantial.[24]
Cheng's funeral was held at St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney on 17 October 2015. The service was attended by his family, senior politicians and police officers, and 1500 mourners. A guard of honour lined the cathedral steps and the road outside.[25]
In November 2015 the Four Corners TV program ran an episode entitled Plan of Attack: The making of a teenage terrorist which documented the chronology of related events prior to the Parramatta shooting. The program covered the roles of: Abdul Nacer BenbrikaFaheem Khalid LodhiKhaled SharroufJihadi Jake and detailed the2005 Sydney terrorism plot, the Holsworthy Barracks terror plot and the 2014 Endeavour Hills stabbings.[26]

Police commissioner Andrew Scipione and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Jabar appears to have committed a politically motivated act of terrorism.[27][6][7] Muslim community leader Dr Jamal Rifi put out a statement, saying, "The horrible attack in Parramatta is a cold blooded murder with no justification or excuses. ... We need to work collaboratively tackling radicalisation among the youth with federal and state governments."[28]
On 13 October, the New South Wales government requested legal changes to allow control orders on people aged 14 and over.George Brandis the Attorney-General for Australia agreed to the changes.[29] The same day, Malcolm Turnbull, Bill Shorten andRichard Di Natale attended a press conference for an interfaith group called National Day of Unity.[30]
The chairman of Parramatta mosque gave a speech during Friday prayers on 9 October saying "We reject terrorism."[31] The Grand Mufti of Australia, Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohamed, condemned the shooting but refused to call the incident an act of terror without "more information" and until "it's proven to be a terrorist act".[32] A statement by the Australian Federal Police to the ABC's Media Watch program said that "emotive headlines" in sensationalised news reports can "help extremists amplify their deliberate strategy to incite fear and hate."[33]
The ISIL propaganda magazine Dabiq described Jabar as a "brave knight".[34]
