(AAP) On his day off, the counter-terrorism case officer for Raghe Abdi was out Christmas shopping when he received a phone call.
Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Danni McCann was notified that a man who had been shot dead by police on a highway south of Brisbane that morning may be Abdi.
Queensland joint counter-terrorism team’s Det McCann had organised with the company that monitored Abdi’s tracking device — Broadspectrum — to be notified about any bail breaches by the 22-year-old.
However, the phone call he received from a detective on December 17, 2020, about the shooting was his first indication that Abdi had breached bail before what was later described as a “terrorism event.”
