Brisbane CBD stabber was on counter terror list, police reveal.
"The man shot dead by police after stabbing a young tourist in Brisbane's CBD this morning was on a counter terror watch list, police have revealed.
The 25-year-old was born in Afghanistan but had been living in Australia and was known to police, but detectives say at this stage they are not treating his actions as a terror attack.
The man, whose name has not yet been released, was shot by police after he stabbed an overseas tourist with a knife on Mary Street around 10am today.
The 26-year-old male victim was walking down Mary Street with a woman, at 10am when they were approached by the man, who they say was "behaving strangely".
He stopped in front of them and said nothing as he pulled a knife out of his bag, police say."
