Sydney: Australia is grappling with one of its deadliest mass shootings in decades after a targeted terror attack on Sydney’s Jewish community near Bondi Beach on Sunday, December 14. The shooting, which took place around 6:47 pm (local time) during Hanukkah celebrations, killed at least 15 people, including a 10-year-old girl.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) — the country’s FBI — previously investigated Akram in 2019 for possible terror ties.

Terror suspect Sajid Akram, the 50-year-old Indian-origin man shot dead by Australian police after Sunday’s deadly attack at Sydney’s Bondi Beach that left 15 people dead, had limited contact with his family in Hyderabad since moving to Australia in November 1998.

A senior law enforcement official has confirmed that one of the Bondi Beach gunmen was Naveed Akram from Bonnyrigg in Sydney's south-west. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Akram's home in Bonnyrigg is currently being raided by police, ABC News Australia reported.
