“Reuters” reported that the attack killed 15 people and injured dozens of others, shocking the world. The 50-year-old suspect Sajid Akram, who was killed by the police, had 6 legally registered guns. As for his 24-year-old son Naveed Akram, who was seriously injured and was arrested, he was charged with 59 charges, including murder and terrorism-related charges.

The police stated in the statement of facts submitted to the court that the father and son “planned this attack for several months” and went to Bondi Beach to investigate two days before the incident. “The surveillance footage showed that the two people carried long and bulky items from the short-term rental house to the car at about 2 a.m. on the day of the incident, and arrived at Bondi Beach at 5 p.m. that day.”

The police determined that these items included 2 single-barreled shotguns, 1 Beretta rifle, 3 pipe bombs, 1 tennis bomb and 1 large improvised explosive device (IED). The police pointed out that the suspect threw bombs into the crowd before shooting. “The suspect threw pipe bombs and tennis bombs at the crowd gathered in the park, but none of the explosive devices detonated.” The suspect then used a gun to shoot at people at the scene, causing serious casualties.

Australian police continue to clarify the Bondi Beach terrorist attack that killed 15 people on the 14th. According to the US “Cable Cable Network” (CNN), citing the “Alleged Facts Statement” released by the Australian court today (22nd), it was pointed out that the father and son involved had conducted firearms and tactical training at a secret location in the countryside, and had conducted multiple on-site inspections before the incident, which showed that the attack was not a temporary act, but was carefully planned over a long period of time.

According to the documents, 50-year-old Sajid Akram and his 24-year-old son Naveed Akram were photographed shooting rifles and shotguns at an undisclosed location and moving in a manner similar to tactical operations. The court found that relevant images showed that the two people had received specific weapons operation and tactical training.

At the time of the Bondi Beach shooting, a large number of Jewish families gathered at the scene to celebrate the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. The police pointed out that the attack killed 15 people. Sajid was shot dead by the police on the spot. His son Navid was charged with terrorism, and was involved in 15 counts of murder and 40 counts of attempted murder. The document stated that the two men threw 4 homemade explosive devices into the crowd before shooting, including 3 pipe bombs and 1 modified tennis bomb. Although they did not detonate, they were all identified as having explosive capabilities. In addition, the police also found a fifth suspected explosive in the trunk of the vehicle where the crime was committed.

According to reports, court documents also revealed that the two people had recorded multiple videos involving violent extremist ideas motivated by religion. In one of the videos, with the Islamic State (ISIS) flag in the background, the pair criticized Zionism and tried to rationalize the attack. The document points out that relevant evidence shows that this terrorist attack was planned for at least several months.

Police investigation found that the two went to the Bondi Beach scene on December 12, two days before the incident. The report pointed out that surveillance footage captured them walking across a pedestrian bridge near Archer Park, and police determined that this was a preliminary investigation for a subsequent attack. In addition, court documents also revealed that the two were suspected of filming a training video in rural New South Wales in October, and went to the Philippines for nearly a month in November, during which they hardly went out.

After the shooting, police searched an address in Bonnyrigg, west of Sydney, and seized two mobile phones, homemade guns, a longbow with 12 arrows, and a Koran with key marks. Sajid’s wife told the police that she originally thought her husband and son were just going on vacation, and said that her son would contact her from a public phone box every day to inform her of his schedule. The next day, police again broke down the door of the couple’s rental house in Kempsey, southwest of Sydney, and found 3D-printed shotgun loader parts, explosive-making tools, longbows and arrows, and two copies of the Quran, one of which had specific pages deliberately marked.

New South Wales police said Navied was shot in the abdomen and received advanced treatment at the Royal North Shore Hospital. He was guarded by riot police when he was transferred to a correctional institution on Monday. He refused to accept formal questioning by the police on the advice of his lawyer, and his next court appearance is scheduled for April next year.

The incident caused a great shock in Australian politics and society. Prime Minister Albanese formally apologized to the Jewish community on Monday after being booed by some people at a memorial event, saying he felt deeply responsible for such a serious terrorist attack during his tenure. The federal government also announced that in addition to strengthening hate speech-related legislation, it will add “increased responsibilities” and impose heavy penalties for radicalization and brainwashing of minors. The Ministry of Justice noted that 17 of the 33 defendants currently involved in terrorism-related cases are minors.

After the shooting, state and federal governments also accelerated discussions on stricter gun control measures. The New South Wales state parliament has held an emergency meeting to discuss limiting the number of recreational guns to four, while farmers can possess up to 10. However, the relevant regulations have caused the agricultural community to question its feasibility.
