Details continue to emerge on Man Haron Monis, the Iranian-born attacker who was slain earlier this week after taking hostages in a Sydney, Australia cafe.
Iranian officials say that Monis had been wanted for decades over fraud he committed while the manager of a travel agency, and that he had fled to Australia under a fake name in the late 1990s.
Iran tracked Monis down, and sought to extradite him from Australia, but the Australian government refused when Monis sought “political asylum.” During his time in Australia, he was charged with multiple crimes, including accessory to murder of his ex-wife, but was out on bail.
Monis also faced more than 40 sexual assault charges in Australia on various women, after he declared himself a “healer.” Monis went on to claim himself a Sunni cleric, though he was not.
Anything that would destroy Iran
Another Western nation just itching to be part of an invasion force that gets to plunder Iran. A warm-up for when they get to plunder the grand prize, all the natural resources in Russia — and if they could get away with it, surely in a heartbeat they would do it.
"Political asylum" seekers tend to be the worst.
Now what's your excuse, Australia? Iran tried to take him off of your hands, you refused, he became a criminal in your land, and now he and your people are dead. He wasn't am 'Islamic Problem'- he was an Australian problem.
He was actually a criminal from the beginning ,he was to stand trial on fraud charges in Iran,but he fled and ended up in Australia which it ranted him political asylum without checking on him because he was from Iran.It is the same country that have denied asylum for many people fleeing pro-west governments .
The Australian; Dumbo with those elephant size ears; prime minister, I think, should be extradited to . Iran, before he can become more of an embarrassment to his own country. He has two chances of getting into Iran; slim and none. (was that his Dick Cheney impersonation on TV?).
