This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/42451576 avoids too many inconvenient facts for it to be accidental.
At least the BBC are finally reporting that there is several links to Islam - 'He had "attributed his actions to perceived mistreatment of Muslims", said a senior officer.' and 'The man... , is an Australian citizen of Afghan descent who arrived in Australia under a refugee programme.'
It's amusing that the police are saying that - 'At this stage there were "no known links to any political issues, or any links to extremist groups" but he added that "nothing should be ruled out".' I seem to recall the BBC desperately trying to rule out Islamic terrorism immediately after the incident.
The most interesting choice of words appears in the last paragraph:
'Police said a second man arrested at the scene was released and expected to be charged with possession of cannabis and a controlled weapon.The charges are not linked to the car attack.'
I've read elsewhere that the second man, was a passenger in the car, was filming during the incident and was in possession of a bag of knives. Why are the BBC not reporting that? Is it not true?
Coincidentally, could you please remind me, do Islamic terrorist attackers ever film these attacks as propaganda weapons? Also do Islamic terrorist car attacks ever also involve knife attacks after the car has come to a stop?
The BBC's eager cooperation in minimising coverage of this attack in Melbourne is dangerous and wrong. The public should know the truth about what's happening in their cities and why.
