This news came as a surprise to say the east. As an Iranian (unless he is part of a Sunni minority) he should be Shi'ia. Nobody has even asked the question of why an Iranian would be supporting the al-Qaeda al-Nusra.
Still the news organisations are still going in about ISIS when clearly this act had nothing to do with it.
One question to be raised is whether the security forces in Australia have groomed this man to commit this act as the FBI have done in the United States.
It was inevitable that, however this played up, that he would end up dead so he could not tell his story. If the media had done its job it would have let him speak to him.
Too many questions that will remain forever unanswered.
#ManMonis claimed he was too liberal for Iran, he then became devout shia, then an AlQaeda supporter - schizophrenia?
Why'd Man Haron Monis run from Iran? why did he get assylum in oz? Iran must have known about him, they dodged a literal bullet #sydneysiege

West's media doesn't so far seem interested to report #SydneySiege gunman's anti Assad, anti Iran tweets

Sydney gunman identified as Iranian-born Man Haron Monis, on bail for violent crimes

December
Sheik
Man Haron Monis, an Islamic ‘spiritual healer’ who is facing
charges of sexual assault and being an accessory to murder, has been
identified as the man who has taken civilians hostage in a Sydney
café, according to local media citing police sources.
"There's
no operational reason for that name to be held back by us now,"
an anonymous police source told Reuters.
The
Iranian-born 50-year-old fled to Australia in 1996, but came to
prominence after 2007, when he began sending “hate mail” to
families of soldiers, who died while fighting in Iraq.
Despite
claiming to be a peace advocate, and even chaining himself to a
courthouse, Monis was sentenced to 300 hours of community service
last year.
Since
then, his charge sheet has included much graver offences.
In
December last year, Monis was accused of helping his current partner,
Amirah Droudis, to murder his ex-wife, Noleen Hayson Pal. The woman
had been stabbed several times and set alight in a Sydney apartment
in April 2013.
Monis
had been locked in a custody battle with Pal, and prosecutors say he
staged a heart attack, car accident and a robbery to create an alibi
on the day of the murder.
In
April this year, Monis, who was on bail, was re-arrested after
multiple reports of sexual abuse emerged
Between
2000 and 2002, Monis styled himself as an “expert in astrology,
numerology, meditation and black magic.” More than 40 women have
alleged that he used this as an opportunity to sexually assault
vulnerable clients, who came to him for help.
Despite
police concerns that Monis could attempt to extract revenge against
his accusers, the preacher was once again released prior to his
hearing.
Monis,
who accumulated more than 14,000 followers on his Facebook page
before it was shut down on Monday, accused the government of
systematic persecution.
Monis
was due to face trial for both sets of charges next year.
On
Monday he walked into Lindt cafe in central Sydney, reportedly
brandishing a gun. More than a dozen hostages were thought to remain
inside, before police began a storm as night fell.
