New details of the operation to free the hostages taken in Sydney cafe Lindt 15 in December last year come up. Recall that the armed Iranian-born Charon Moniz took hostage several visitors to the cafe and his staff. After the capture, Moniz made several demands: to bring him the flag of the Islamic State directly to the cafe and to organize negotiations with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
On the following day, the Australian security forces began to storm the building. As a result of the assault, two hostages died, five more were injured. The terrorist was killed.
At the disposal of the British edition The Guardian It turned out the results of the examination of the bodies of the dead hostages and a terrorist. It turned out that in the body of the murdered hostage Katrina Dawson, experts found the exact same bullet as in the body of terrorist Moniz. This suggests that of the two hostages, one was killed by Australian police during the assault.
Originally reported that two hostages killed Moniz.
Representatives of the Australian authorities say that there may have been a ricochet, and it was he who led the bullet fired from the policeman’s head to the hostage of Dawson.
Relatives of the deceased insist on conducting a thorough investigation of the very course of the assault on the cafe Lindt by Australian security forces.
