AN Australian man of Afghan descent with a history of mental health issues drove a car into Christmas shoppers in the city of Melbourne on Thursday, injuring 19 people, but police said they did not believe the attack was terror-related.
In January, four people were killed and more than 20 injured when a man drove into pedestrians just a few hundred metres away from Thursday's attack. That too was not a terror attack.
