Bondi Beach Attack: Suspects Traveled to Philippines on Indian Passports, Report

  • Bondi Beach attack suspects, father and son Sajid and Naveed Akram, travelled to the Philippines on Indian passports last month.
  • The suspects allegedly visited the Philippines for "military-style training" before the attack.
  • ISIS flags and improvised explosive devices were found in a vehicle registered to Naveed Akram, with PM Albanese stating the attackers were motivated by Islamic State ideology.
  • Naveed Akram was previously known to Australian intelligence in 2019 but was not considered a person of interest at the time.
  • Sajid Akram, who was killed at the scene, legally owned multiple firearms, some of which were used in the attack that killed 15 people.

Why It Matters: Bondi attack suspects' international travel and terror links raise global concerns.
