AUSTRALIAN security agencies are monitoring teen terrorist Farhad Jabar’s older brother, who suddenly left Australia two weeks after the 15-year-old killed NSW police worker Curtis Cheng.

Farshad Jabar, 22, was known to federal and state counterterrorist agencies before his brother was shot dead after executing Mr Cheng outside Police Headquarters in Parramatta on October 2.

Their sister, Shadi, 27, is now thought to be in Syria, having flown to Turkey a day before Farhad carried out the heinous terror attack. Farshad contacted police the day of the shooting, saying he believed his brother was involved.

“He (Farshad) was on the periphery of some individuals that were being monitored but not considered a real threat,’’ an intelligence source told The Daily Telegraph.

After the attack, Farshad was interviewed several times about his alleged association with radicals and his brother’s contact with them. Police have not charged Farshad.

While being questioned by police, Farshad said he, his wife and their daughter would move back to Iraq because of the media attention the family were getting. They left the country just days after the radicalised teen was buried in the Islamic section of Rookwood Cemetery.

It is understood Farshad wanted to take his brother’s remains back to their homeland but their parents, who still live in North Parramatta, wanted their youngest child interred in Sydney.

It has since been alleged Farhad was given the murder weapon at Parramatta mosque by Raban Alou, 18, who allegedly obtained the gun from Talal Alameddine.

New charges of membership of a terrorist organisation were last week laid against Alou and Alameddine and a third man, Mustafa Dirani, 22, in the first use of the NSW legislation. All three have been refused bail and are in Goulburn Jail.

It is not alleged the trio were members of a particular terrorist group but rather had allegedly formed their own terror cell to plot the murder of a police worker.
