A LETTER found in Parramatta terrorist Farhad Jabar’s backpack, which he dumped moments before gunning down a police finance worker on Friday afternoon, warns of extremist attacks and contains the threat “Let the blood flow on the street,” The Daily Telegraph can reveal.

Police investigating the murder of 58-year-old father of two Curtis Cheng in a terrorist ­attack found the letter in the 15-year-old’s backpack, which was recovered outside his school on Friday night.

It is understood the letter contains Islamic extremist rantings and was found ­alongside material bearing the name of a Western Sydney ­Islamic bookstore.

Jabar shot Mr Cheng dead at point-blank range as he was leaving work for the long weekend on Friday afternoon.

Witnesses said the boy ranted “Allahu Akbar” as he ran up and down Charles St waving a handgun before firing on ­special constables guarding the entrance to the Parramatta police headquarters. One of the constables shot Jabar dead.

Friends of Jabar have told The Telegraph that his personality changed noticeably in the 12 months leading up to the ­attack; he stopped playing his beloved basketball and soccer as he did not want to touch any females who might be playing the sport — forbidden under Sharia law.

He had also been skipping school to attend prayers.

Sources close to Jabar said they feared an attack but they never expected he would be the one to carry it out.

The final chilling note mirrors other attacks around the world where terrorists have wanted to leave behind a message of hate after their death.

The Telegraph understands no specific targets or attacks are mentioned in the letter.

Police believe Jabar was acting on the orders of other radicals and was not a “lone wolf” killer.

They are trying to find who put the gun in the impressionable teen’s hands and persuaded him to carry out the heinous kerbside murder.

Police have established the teenager was at his Parramatta home on Friday morning before he went to the Parramatta Mosque in the afternoon to listen to sermons by two imams.
