In a shocking terrorist incident in Sydney, Australia, a 15-year-old boy stabbed Assyrian Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and three other individuals during a live-streamed service at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley. The attack, which was captured on video, saw the bishop and others sustain non-life-threatening injuries and are in stable condition at Liverpool Hospital. The assailant, who reportedly shouted 'Allahu Akbar' during the attack, was arrested at the scene. Authorities have declared the stabbing a terrorist act, citing elements of religious-motivated extremism. The incident follows a recent stabbing rampage at a Sydney mall that left six dead.
