Mother Of Murdered Backpacker Objects To Description As ‘Underreported Terror Attack’

Rosie Ayliffe, the mother of a young woman stabbed to death last year at a hostel in Queensland, Australia, says she is “affronted” by the inclusion of her daughter’s death on a Trump administration list of what it calls underreported terror attacks. The reference to her daughter’s killing was “at best a crass and callous error,” Ayliffe wrote in The Guardian on Wednesday, saying that her daughter’s death was ugly and brutal – but not a terror attack.
