Australian police confirmed that the two alleged gunmen, Sajid and Naveed Akram, acted alone in the Bondi Beach mass shooting, did not train in the Philippines, and were motivated by Islamic State ideology, with investigations indicating they rarely left their hotel during their trip.
New documents reveal that the alleged Bondi gunmen threw four undetonated explosives, including a tennis ball bomb, during a terrorist attack at a Jewish festival, with police linking the attack to extremist ideology and meticulous planning by Naveed Akram and his father Sajid Akram, who was killed during the incident.
A man and his father conducted a meticulously planned terrorist attack at Bondi Beach, Australia, involving failed explosive devices and a mass shooting that resulted in 15 deaths. The attacker, Naveed Akram, and his father were involved in firearms training and recorded videos justifying their actions, which were linked to Islamic State ideology. The incident prompted new, stricter gun laws in Australia.
The father and son suspected of the Bondi Beach massacre stayed mostly in their hotel in Davao, Philippines, for nearly a month, rarely leaving and having no visitors, as investigations continue into their motives and possible training, with authorities noting no evidence of military training in the region.
Naveed Akram, the suspect in the deadly Bondi Beach shooting targeting Australia's Jewish community, has been charged with 59 offences including 15 counts of murder and a terrorist act, with the attack being Australia's deadliest since 1996 and believed to be motivated by Islamic State ideology. The incident resulted in 15 deaths, including two rabbis, a Holocaust survivor, and a child, and injured dozens. Akram, critically injured, was charged from hospital, and the case is scheduled for April 2026. The attack has prompted national mourning and discussions on antisemitism.
