NZ ‘ISIS’ stabber’s blood lust

Refugee hated Kiwis

Authorities on Saturday identified the ISIS-sympathizing terrorist who stabbed at least five people in a New Zealand supermarket as a Kiwi-hating 32year-old refugee who reportedly listened to songs about “drinking from the blood of disbelievers” — and was under 24/7 police surveillance after being released from prison just two months before his rampage.

Sri Lankan national Ahamed Aathil Mohamed Samsudeen arrived on the island nation in 2011 on a student visa seeking refugee status as a member of the Tamils, a minority group persecuted in Sri Lanka, according to The New Zealand Herald.

Special Tactics Group officers fatally shot him Friday within 60 seconds, but not before he had stabbed at least five people. Five of his six victims had stab wounds and three are in critical condition. Two other shoppers were hurt during the attack.

Samsudeen was described as a “highly distressed and damaged young man” by a psychologist who examined him while investigating his claims for asylum, which was granted in 2013, the Canterbury Star News reported.

Officials believe he was radicalized by online ISIS propaganda and ranted online about his hatred for his adopted country, while posting support for ISIS — landing him on a terror watch list in 2016.

“One day I will go back to my country and I will find kiwi scums in my country . . . and I will show them . . . what will happen when you mess with S while I’m in their country. If you’re tough in your country . . . we are tougher in our country scums #payback,” Samsudeen wrote on Facebook, The Sun reported.

At his Queen Street apartment, police discovered a disturbing trove of violent material including two dozen photos of him clutching a long-barreled air rifle with a telescopic lens and songs that were about “drinking from the blood of disbelievers,” The Sun reported.
