Dublin Court Delays ISIS-Supporting Stabber's Sentencing

0:00On April 20, a Dublin court just delayed sentencing for 24-year-old Abdelacon, who admitted to stabbing Agarda and torching a pub, owned by Conor McGregor. He pleaded guilty to the knife attack on July 29 and the arson at the Black Forge Inn four days earlier on July 25. Con supports Islamic State and shouted al-Ahu Akbar during the stabbing. The judge called for a full probation report to cover heavy post-release supervision, focusing on his radicalization risks that came up in evidence. Con said he acted over insults to the Prophet Muhammad, viewing security forces as targets under his Salafi jihadist beliefs. The stabbed Garda, Gary Lynch, showed up in court, and the judge apologized for the hold-up while stressing the need for a risk assessment. Con has no prior convictions, battle mental health issues, and describes snapping in a crisis after time abroad in Pakistan. Police lawyers noted open police inquiries and hinted at shadowy figures possibly pulling strings while Con apologized early for the harm.
