Sydney's underworld gang wars have intensified with multiple violent attacks across western Sydney, including two drive-by shootings and a firebombing within 24 hours. Former NRL star Matt Utai, 44, was shot at Merrylands as an innocent victim, with police believing his son Iziah was the intended target due to alleged links to organised crime. The attacks are part of an escalating feud between the Alameddine crime clan and a rival group known as the Coconut Cartel, prompting police to launch a new strike force.
