News India Live, Digital Desk: It is the duty of a father to guide his son on the right path. But what happens when the same father fills his son’s hand with a sword instead of a pen and hatred instead of love in his heart? What happened on Australia’s Bondi Beach was not just a terrorist attack, but the story of a father converting his own blood into ‘gunpowder’.
As the police investigation is progressing, shocking truths are coming to light. The threads of this attack seem to be connecting from the streets of Sydney to the forests of the Philippines.
Father-son’s ‘mystery trip’ to Philippines
The biggest twist in this case came when the investigating agencies came to know that the attackers Sajid (father) and Navid (son) had gone to the Philippines just a few weeks before the attack.
Now you might be thinking, do people go to visit the Philippines? But the police suspect something else. The southern areas of the Philippines are considered a stronghold of groups associated with ISIS. The investigating agency is sure that this was not a ‘family vacation’. This father and son had gone there not to relax, but to get radicalized and perhaps to get training in using weapons. It was only after returning from there that his behavior changed and he carried out this dreadful conspiracy.
ISIS in mind, explosives in car
After the attack, when the police searched Navid (son’s) car, what was found there left no scope for doubt. ISIS flags and homemade bombs (IEDs) were found inside the car. This indicates that the attack was not carried out in a fit of rage. Its planning was going on for a long time, and its remote control was in the hands of the radical ideology.
blood relations, rivers of blood
Think about that 24 year old boy (Naveed), who was just starting his life. But his 50-year-old father Sajid ‘brainwashed’ him so much that he became bent on taking his own life and the lives of others. The father was killed in police action, but the son is still hanging between life and death.
The Prime Minister of Australia has also clearly said that this is the result of “sinister ideology”. This incident has left a question for all of us – terrorism is not just fighting on the borders, it is now entering inside homes and destroying generations. Now the world will have to be more alert to break this chain of hatred spread from Philippines to Australia.
