Terrorist Ahamed Aathill Mohamed Samsudeen attacked and injured seven people with a knife at New Lynn Countdown that Friday. Samsudeen had been under surveillance since his release from prison seven weeks earlier, because he was deemed a terrorist threat. It said there should be a co-ordinated review because each agency involved in the matter "has its own oversight mechanism empowered to review its decisions and actions".
