SYDNEY - A knife attack during a service at an Assyrian church in Sydney that injured a bishop was a terrorist act motivated by suspected religious extremism, Australian police said on Tuesday.

“We believe there are elements that are satisfied in terms of religious motivated extremism,” New South Wales state Police Commissioner Karen Webb said during a press conference.Police said there was “a degree of premeditation” as the male attacker travelled to the church, far from his home, with a knife. But Ms Webb said police at this early stage of the investigation believe the attacker was acting alone.
She noted that the attack intimidated the public – both parishioners at the church and people following the live-streamed service online.The incident triggered clashes outside the church between police and an angry crowd of the bishop’s followers who demanded the attacker be handed over to them.
