Father-Son Duo Behind Deadly Bondi Terror Attack - What Police Know About the Gunmen
Police identified the Bondi Beach attackers as 50-year-old Sajid Akram, killed during the incident, and his 24-year-old son Naveed Akram, now hospitalized. The father held firearms licenses for six hunting rifles used in the attack. ASIO had examined Naveed six years ago for links to an ISIS terror cell but deemed him not an immediate threat. The pair fired on crowds during a Hanukkah celebration, killing 16 people in Australia's second-deadliest mass shooting.
