New details have emerged in the investigation of the Sydney terror attack that killed 15 people at Bondi Beach.
According to foreign media reports, Australian police have submitted documents to the court revealing that Indian-origin attackers Sajid Akram and his son Naveed Akram received tactical training in Australia and visited Bondi Beach one day before the deadly assault.
The investigation uncovered a video on one attacker’s phone showing both suspects sitting in front of an ISIS flag. The video, recorded in October, shows both men expressing anti-Jewish sentiments.
Police documents confirm the father and son carried out technical training within Australia before executing the attack on participants of a Jewish festival at Sydney’s Bondi Beach last week.
Media reports indicate authorities transferred the injured attacker Naveed Akram from hospital to prison today.
The attack on Decemeber 14, left 15 people dead. Police killed Sajid Akram at the scene, while his son Naveed Akram sustained injuries during the assault.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has demanded full parliamentary support for new laws against extremist and hate speech following the attack.
