Recent propaganda by Israel, India, and Afghanistan attempting to link Pakistan to the Sydney terrorist attack has been proven misleading. The attack, which shook Australia’s coast, left 15 people dead and around 40 others injured, including two police officers.

Sydney Attack Overview

During the incident:

• One attacker was killed in police retaliation

• Another attacker was arrested while injured

• Explosive materials were recovered from a nearby vehicle

Authorities confirmed that the attack was not connected to Pakistan, despite attempts by certain media and social platforms to suggest otherwise.

False Claims by International Media

The Israeli newspaper Jerusalem and various Indian media outlets labeled the attackers as Pakistanis without factual verification. Social media accounts reportedly linked to India’s intelligence agency RAW also propagated this narrative, echoing previous Pahalgam false-flag claims.

Pakistani Officials Refute Allegations

According to official Pakistani records:

• There is no evidence that the attackers, Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram, hold Pakistani nationality

• Pakistani authorities in Australia confirmed no proof of their Pakistani origin

These facts counter the ongoing misinformation targeting Pakistan.

Correct Background of Sajid Akram

Contrary to false reports:

• Sajid Akram entered Australia in 1998 on a student visa

• His visa later converted to a partner visa in 2001 after marrying Australian citizen Warina

• Australian Home Minister Tony Burke confirmed these details

• Sajid Akram has been an active member of an Australian gun club for over 10 years

• Authorities recovered six licensed firearms from him

His ancestral roots trace back to Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province, highlighting that terrorism is a global issue, often linked to regions such as Afghanistan.

Attack Resembles Afghan Taliban Tactics

Investigators noted that the shooting pattern mirrors tactics used by the Afghan Taliban in similar incidents, reinforcing the global and transnational nature of terrorism rather than associating it with Pakistan.

Key Takeaways

• Propaganda linking Pakistan to Sydney attack is false

• Accurate information confirmed by Pakistani and Australian authorities

• Terrorism is a global challenge, with Afghanistan emerging as a significant hotspot

• Media literacy is critical to prevent spreading misinformation internationally
