A Somalian-born man who carried out an 'ISIS-inspired' attack on the streets of an affluent Melbourne suburb, had previously faced court over terror charges.
Yacqub Khayre murdered one man, wounded three police officers and took a woman hostage in a dramatic two-hour siege in a hotel on Bay Street, Brighton, on Monday.
The 29-year-old was killed by police in an exchange of 'severe gunfire' shortly before 6pm, ending the hostage situation inside 'The Buckingham' serviced apartments.
Now it has been revealed that Khayre was previously charged, and acquitted, with planning a suicide attack against Sydney's Holsworthy army barracks in 2009, the Herald Sun reports.
But despite being well known to counter terrorism police, he was deemed a low-risk of offending and released on parole - before committing the attack: 'For IS and for al-Qaeda'.
