HE was the typical suburban kid who loved his family, girls, cars and his mates, but before 18-year-old Numan Haider was shot dead after stabbing two police officers, he had made the dramatic transformation from Melbourne teen to death cult disciple.

A “person of interest” in a counter-terrorism operation, known to police for three months and becoming increasingly of interest in recent weeks, the teenager is believed to have researched Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s travel plans, ABC reports.

Brainwashed by extremism and nursing a broken heart, the junior jihadi’s plans to travel to Syria were thwarted when his passport was cancelled a week ago.
A failed romance with a woman whom Haider had converted to Islam had left him devastated in recent weeks.

One man who knew Haider said the two recently had lunch, and Haider told him of his breakup and the stress he was under as a result of being investigated for involvement in terrorism activities.
“It (the breakup) was a huge factor in his life. He was very upset.”

A friend told the Herald Sun the women was Haider’s wife, and the pair was living apart.
The “good kid” who had been “brainwashed”, according to a relative, turned his terrorism plans around to plan an attack on home soil after his passport was seized, and his behaviour worried close mates and authorities.

As his relationship soured, Haider took to the streets of Dandenong trying to convert people to Islam. He was one of five people seen thrusting brochures into shoppers’ hands last Thursday.

Witnesses recalled seeing up to 15 police surround the teen outside the Hub arcade. One said Haider was dressed in army camouflage pants and holding a black-and-white flag.

Undeterred, Haider returned next day, retailers said.

The misguided devotion on show when he ranted in Dandenong Plaza, waving an Islamic State flag, brought him to the attention of counter-terrorism police.

His Facebook page also had hate-filled posts, including: “The main message I’m sending with these statuses and photos is to the dogs AFP and ASIO who are declaring war on Islam and Muslims.”
His quiet Afghan family had moved to Endeavour Hills seven years ago, after living for some time in Adelaide. The men in the family took interest in their cars and his father was said to be a driving instructor.

“They were always in the garage, cleaning it out or fixing the cars,” a neighbour said.

“They were a normal family. Very polite, nothing out of the ordinary.”

ON THE AUTHORITIES’ RADAR

Haider had been picked up in an intelligence sweep of “chatter” about potential threats to Parliament House, and had followed the movements of government officials, including Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

His rage may have been further fuelled by raids on his “Muslim brothers” in Sydney and a romance with a woman whom he converted to Islam that failed in recent weeks.

Defence Force families were told to be on high alert after a soldier’s house was approached in Sydney.

And while police said there had been no specific threats about beheadings some police suspect that this was Haider’s intention, and that it occur in a public place or on film.

The Islamic Council of Victoria refused to immediately condemn the dead teenager’s actions.

On Tuesday night Haider, who had an ISIL-style flag on him and a large knife tucked into his belt, attacked the two counter-terrorism agents with a small blade after shaking hands with them.
The Afghanistan-born teen, who has links to extremist Islamic group Al-Furqan, was hit in the head by a single bullet after stabbing the AFP agent in the head, neck and abdomen.

The Herald Sun has learned that the officers, whose identities will not be released, had attempted to find the teen at his Endeavour Hills home, which they searched, before arranging with him to meet outside the police station.

Haider’s family would not comment about the incident yesterday. Relatives said his 20-year-old brother was “angry’’ and that his mother, Suraya, had barely spoken since learning of her son’s death.
A relative said the family had contacted police asking for Haider’s body to be returned for burial.

ATTACK IN FOCUS AT UN SECURITY COUNCIL

Prime Minister Tony Abbott brought Haider’s attack to the attention of world leaders in his address to the UN Security Council in New York today.

“Last week, an Australian operative in Syria instructed his local network to conduct demonstration killings, and this week an Australian terror suspect savagely attacked two policemen,” he said.

“It’s hard to imagine that citizens of a pluralist democracy could have succumbed to such delusions — yet clearly they have.”

Mr Abbott threw Australia’s support behind a US-drafted resolution mandating a global crackdown on foreign fighters, and said Australia will be “utterly unflinching” in the fight against Islamic State at home and abroad.

“The Australian government will be utterly unflinching towards anything that threatens our future as a free, fair and multicultural society,” he said.

“A beacon of hope and exemplar of unity-in-diversity.” He congratulated Mr Obama on his leadership against IS and said Australia was now poised and ready to help in military operations in Iraq.

“Our goal is not to change people but to protect them; it’s not to change governments but to combat terrorism,” he said.

POLICE ON HIGH ALERT

A Brisbane mosque has been vandalised with anti-Muslim slurs with the words “die” and “Muslims are evil and have no respect for our ways” spray-painted on a Rocklea mosque in an act that police to have been committed by “senseless vandals” in response to attempted extremist attacks.

Police are on high alert for revenge attacks against more officers following the shooting of teenage terror suspect Numan Haider.

As Chief Commissioner Ken Lay wrote to Victoria’s 13,000 police officers, warning them to be prepared for any situation, it emerged:

An eyewitness has made a statement to police that another man in Islamic dress was near the scene in Endeavour Hills where the attack took place.

Police said they had no evidence of other parties being involved in the attack on the police, but that the investigation was in its early stages and interviews with family, friends and associates were being conducted.

Sources said the teen had earlier tried to lure the police to other locations, including a Hungry Jack’s.
