Wieambilla shootings: US man arrested over Australian religious terror attack

An Arizona man has been detained by the FBI in connection with a terror attack that left six people dead last year that was motivated by religion and took place on an isolated American home.

The 58-year-old US citizen is facing two charges, one of which is related to internet crime incitement.

According to the police, he “repeatedly” sent the attackers online information that contained” Holy end of days philosophy.”

Two police officers, a neighbor, and the three guns involved were all killed in the Wieambilla invasion.

FBI agents detained the US male on Friday in Heber Overgaard, which is located north-east of Phoenix.

According to the authorities, Nathaniel, Stacey, and Gareth Train, the three guns, followed two of the man’s YouTube transactions. In the days leading up to the assault, which occurred in Queensland next December, they continued to message Gareth and Stacey.

There is also evidence that the suspect and Gareth were “commenting directly” on each other’s YouTube videos, Authorities in Queensland Assistant Commissioner Cheryl Scanlon told a press conference on Wednesday.

Authorities in Queensland investigators have travelled to the US to assist the FBI and local law enforcement with the investigation.

On December 12, after police had arrived at a remote inland property owned by Gareth and Stacey Train in Wieambilla, about 270 kilometers ( 168 miles ) west of Brisbane, the deadly attack occurred.

In order to check on Nathaniel Train, who had been reported missing by the police, four soldiers had gone it.

They were surrounded by gunfire as soon as they got out of their car to view the house.

Matthew Arnold, 26, and Rachel McCrow, 29, were both instantly shot before reportedly receiving another execution-style picture.

The third officer was terrorized by the shooters who set fire to her in an effort to get her out of hiding, while another officer suffered injuries but managed to escape.

Alan Dare, a 58-year-old neighbor who arrived to offer assistance, was also fatally shot.

According to authorities, the assault involved “many arms” and lasted for hours before the suspects were shot by specifically trained officials.

According to the researchers, the assault involved “advanced planning and preparation against law police” and was premeditated.

All over the house, there were camouflaged hiding places, barriers, dust saddles, guns, knives, CCTV, and mirrors mounted on trees.

Since then, Queensland police have described the incident as a “religiously motivated evil attack” and claim that the Trains adhered to” a large Christian conservative belief system known as premillennialism.”

Premillennialism holds that Jesus Christ did actually return to bring peace after a time of damage and excruciating suffering on Earth.

According to authorities, this is the first time a radical Christian worldview has been connected to an Australian terrorist attack.

There are currently no plans to apprehend the man to Australia despite the fact that he has been charged under US laws.

In Australia, which has some of the strictest weapon rules in the world, gun violence is uncommon.
