Authorities Reveal Gunmen Who Killed 15 At Bondi Beach Were Previously Monitored By Intelligence Agency
More details have emerged regarding the the gunmen who killed 15 people at an Australia beach.
In the new reports, the police commissioner of New South Wales revealed the father and son who were behind the brutal shooting were allegedly motivated by ISIS.
A separate report from authorities in Australia revealed the son was previously under surveillance by an Australian intelligence agency.
The Guardian reported more on the new reports:
The father and son duo allegedly behind the Bondi attacked appear to have been inspired by Islamic State, the Australian prime minister says, as police confirmed they were investigating why the pair travelled to the Philippines last month.
The New South Wales police commissioner, Mal Lanyon, on Tuesday alleged Naveed Akram, 24, and his 50-year-old father, Sajid, had recently travelled to the Philippines.
Lanyon also alleged that IEDs and two homemade IS flags were found in a car registered to Naveed that was parked at the scene of Sunday’s shooting.
“The reasons why they went to the Philippines, and the purpose of that, and where they went when they were there, is under investigation at the moment,” Lanyon said.
Anthony Albanese told reporters that “it would appear that there is evidence that this was [allegedly] inspired by a terrorist organisation, by Isis”.
It’s alleged the duo killed 15 people – with another 25 still in hospital on Tuesday – in the attack at the Sydney beach
Naveed was arrested at the scene and taken to a Sydney hospital with critical injuries. His father was shot dead by police.
Lanyon corrected reporting that Sajid first gained a gun licence a decade ago, saying he was not issued one until 2023.
Naveed, who worked as a bricklayer, came under the attention of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (Asio) in October 2019, Albanese said on Monday.
Australia’s intelligence agency, ASIO, investigated Naveed Akram in 2019 over his associations with an ISIS terror cell.
Somehow he was able to fly to the Philippines to conduct military training with ISIS militants in Mindanao province.

Here’s the moment a hero stepped in to take down one of the gunmen:
“I’m going to die, please see my family & tell them that I went down to save people’s lives.”
These are the words of Ahmed el Ahmed–the courageous fruit stand owner who rushed into action at Bondi Beach, tackled one of the gunmen, and saved countless lives.
God bless this hero. pic.twitter.com/ZMoGfA5WhL

NBC News reported on how Australia’s Prime Minister has responded to the attack:
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Tuesday in a radio interview with ABC Sydney that the gunmen were “motivated by Islamic State ideology” that “has been around for more than a decade that led to this ideology of hate, and in this case, a preparedness to engage in mass murder.”
The Islamic State, or ISIS, took control of large swaths of Syria and Iraq in 2014, but the militant group was subsequently pushed back by the U.S. military and its allies, though its ideology has inspired attacks by extremists in Europe and elsewhere in recent years. Pockets of ISIS are also still active in the Middle East: President Donald Trump on Saturday blamed ISIS for an attack in Syria that killed two U.S. Army soldiers and a civilian U.S. interpreter.
Albanese said in the interview that the two gunmen had carefully plotted the attack and did not appear to have any accomplices.
“The investigation is ongoing, but it would appear that the advice we receive was that these two acted alone,” he said.
“Clearly it was well-planned. They clearly had thought through the positioning of where they would be on that bridge to give them a higher position than the people that they were seeking to harm. And this was a meticulous, calculated, cold-blooded attack,” Albanese added.
