Mom of Slain Backpacker Slams Trump’s False Claim It Was a Terrorist Attack

The mother of a young backpacker killed in an Australian hostel has criticized President Donald Trump‘s claim that her daughter‘s murder was a terror attack ignored by the media.

Rosie Ayliffe said terrorism links were quickly ruled out in last year‘s fatal stabbing of Mia Ayliffe-Chung, 20, and a fellow British tourist — Tom Jackson, 30 — who tried to save her life.
