The bomber, suspected of being a Brisbane man named Ahmed, is seen standing next to the explosives-laden truck which is believed to have used in an attack on a Syrian army checkpoint in September. The video appears to have been published by an Al Qaeda-linked jihadist group. Since sketchy images of the bombing and a still image of the bomber emerged in September, Australia's intelligence and police agencies have been trying to trace his route from suburban obscurity to jihad. It is understood they have identified the man they believe carried out the bombing. However, his family has denied he was involved and insists he is still alive in Turkey.
