NEWS about the killing of a Filipino-
Australian child, seven-year-old Julian Cadman,
in a senseless attack far away in Spain has
finally brought home to us the madness of
world terrorism today.
On Thursday, August 17, 2017 a 22-year-
old Moroccan national, Younes Abouyaaqoub,
was alleged to have been the sole driver of a
van that mowed down strollers on Las Ramblas,
a thoroughfare in the city of Barcelona that's a
popular tourist destination.
Julian and his mother Jumarie, in the city on a
holiday to attend a wedding, were among those
struck down.
Jumarie was taken to hospital and stayed in a
coma for days.
It took some time for police to find Julian’s
body.

Sixteen people died in the aftermath. More
than 100 others were injured.
We have always grieved for victims’ families
elsewhere in the world who have suffered the
brutality of terrorists’ heinous crimes against
innocent people.
But grief is compounded with anger when the
victim is one of us, especially one who lived in our
neighborhood; one so innocent.
Indeed, Julian’s killing crystallises our
determination to help rid our world of terrorism in
all its forms.
It reminds us to be more vigilant and to fear not
taking steps toward helping our authorities seek
out and identify terrorists, to kill 13 people and
possibly prevent acts of terrorism.
We can make sure that Julian Cadman didn’t
die in vain. n
