Third Suspect Arrested in Melbourne Synagogue Arson
Description
A third suspect has been charged in the December 2024 arson attack on Melbourne’s Adass Israel Synagogue, one of three masked perpetrators who poured flammable liquid and set the building ablaze, injuring a worshipper. The 20-year-old, already in custody for unrelated offenses, joins previously arrested suspects Giovanni Laulu and Younes Ali Younes. Authorities, including Australia’s Joint Counter Terrorism Team, are investigating whether the attackers knew their handlers — suspected to be Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, per Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s claims — who allegedly use proxies to mask involvement. Australia has expelled Iranian diplomats in response, while the Jewish community renews calls for safety and justice. The new suspect is set to appear in court next week.
