From www.theaustralian.com.au:

The 15-year-old boy of Iraqi-Kurdish background and born in Iran has been identified as Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar of North Parramatta.

The actions of the boy outside the Police State Crime Command in the western suburb of Parramatta were linked to terrorism, police said.

NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione, at a joint conference on Saturday with Premier Mike Baird, said Australia was constantly working to find a solution to the radicalization of teenagers.

Mr. Scipione said finding an answer to teenage radicalization was “the global question at the moment”. Meanwhile details of the shootings emerged late on Saturday.

The Sunday Telegraph reported that a key line of inquiry for Joint Counter-Terrorism federal-state investigators in NSW is whether Jabar was recruited specifically to carry out the attack, or whether he carried it out unprompted.

He was believed to have been on the fringe of a group that had already come to the notice of police, it reported.

The youth lived at a family apartment in North Parramatta and reportedly had been a student at Arthur Phillip High School in Parramatta. He is described as a naturalized Australian.

A brother of his reportedly contacted police soon after the shootings. A neighbor at a unit in North Parramatta confirmed that police had visited the building on Friday night. There was no one at the family’s place in the building on Saturday afternoon.

Another neighbor said she recognized his photo, but had not seen him recently.

From au.news.yahoo.com:

A teenage gunman who shot dead a NSW police worker outside the force’s Sydney headquarters in an attack “linked to terrorism” has reportedly been identified as Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar.

Officially, police have only described the killer as a 15-year-old boy of Iraqi-Kurdish background and born in Iran, and say they won’t confirm his identity until “all formalities” have been completed.

A day after the shocking attack which closed down parts of Parramatta, investigators are trying to work out what led to the teen, named in media reports as Jabar, to shoot Curtis Cheng as he left work at the State Crime Command on Friday afternoon.

Mr Cheng had worked for the police finance department for 17 years.

After gunning the 58-year-old down from behind, Jabar continued to fire.

Dressed in a loose-fitting black robe, he was reportedly waving his pistol about and yelling as he moved in front of the police centre before being shot dead by officers.

Commissioner Andrew Scipione says police are still a long way from establishing a full picture of the teen or what motivated him to carry out the “disturbing” attack.

What they do believe, is “that his actions were politically motivated and therefore linked to terrorism”.

At this early stage of the investigation, Mr Scipione says they have no information to tie the boy to a specific group.

“There is nothing to suggest he was doing anything but acting alone,” he said in Sydney.

The teenager’s family have spoken to police and are co-operating.

Mr Scipione said he had been advised the teenager attended a mosque before the shooting but reminded people such attacks were the acts of a small minority.

“Simply because a person is of the Muslim faith doesn’t mean they are a terrorist. We shouldn’t be treating entire communities like they are all suspects, because that’s simply not the case,” he said.

He has spoken with Islamic community leaders who have condemned the shooting and offered full support.

Detectives visited the mosque again on Saturday morning, News Corp Australia reports.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who described the shooting as a “cold-blooded murder”, echoed the commissioner’s comments.

Blaming or vilifying the Muslim community would be utterly counterproductive, he said.

“The Muslim community are our absolutely necessary partners in combating this type of violent extremism,” he said.

Mr Scipione remembered Mr Cheng as a “much-loved man” who would be missed and said he was hoping to speak with his family on Saturday.

NSW Premier Mike Baird has expressed his condolences to Mr Cheng’s loved ones.

“How can someone so young undertake such a chilling act? It doesn’t make sense. It should never have happened,” he told the media.

He urged all Australians to not let fear or anger take hold and called for unity.

“This is not a time to point fingers, for anger to reign … what we have to do is come together and solve it,” Mr Baird said.

Mr Scipione said the events of Friday would be taken into consideration with regards to security at the NRL grand final at Homebush on Sunday.

“There will be a very high police presence regardless (but) you may well expect to see higher visibility,” he said.

A coronial inquest will be held into the shooting.

From www.bbc.com:

Five children, four girls and one boy, were behind a series of blasts in the north-eastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri on Thursday, sources say.
Fifteen people, including the bombers, died and more than 35 were injured in the attacks at a mosque and house of vigilante leader, they said.
More than 100 people died in similar attacks in the city two weeks ago.
Maiduguri is where Boko Haram Islamist militants were first based when they began their insurgency six years ago.
Some 17,000 people are said to have been killed in that time and attacks by the group have intensified since Muhammadu Buhari became president in May, vowing to defeat the insurgents.
The BBC’s Abdullahi Kaura Abubakar in the capital, Abuja, says people were waiting for the final evening prayers when three suicide bombers struck the mosque.
The girl carrying the fourth bomb ran off into the nearby bush where her explosives detonated, killing her.
The vigilante leader was not at home when a suicide attacker struck his house, our reporter says.
Witnesses and security sources said the children were aged between nine and 15.
Earlier reports said all five of the bombers were girls.
Our correspondent says the attacks in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, come as the military says it is winning the war against Boko Haram.
In June, the military’s headquarters were moved to the city as President Buhari wanted to centralise operations against the militants.
This year, the security forces have reclaimed most of the territory captured by Boko Haram fighters and freed a number of people kidnapped by the militant group.
But the boosted regional multinational force – central to Mr Buhari’s strategy in defeating the militants – has not yet started operations in earnest because of reported funding difficulties, our reporter says.
Mr Buhari has given his newly appointed security chiefs until mid-November to defeat the fighters, who now have ties with Islamic State group.
More than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped in April 2014 from the town of Chibok in Borno state have also yet to be found.
