Bondi Terror Attack: Hyderabad-born Sajid Akram's Past, ISIS Links Emerge

• Sajid Akram, 50, an Indian national from Telangana, carried out the Bondi Beach mass shooting, killing 15 people.
• He had limited family contact in India, didn't attend his father's funeral, and his radicalisation is not linked to India.
• Sajid migrated to Australia in 1998, married Venera Grosso, and had two Australian citizen children, including Naveed.
• Sajid and son Naveed targeted a Hanukkah event; Sajid was killed by police, Naveed is in a coma.
• Duo travelled to Southern Philippines, suggesting ISIS-inspired motives; Naveed was previously investigated for ISIS links in 2019.

Why It Matters: Bondi shooter Sajid Akram, an Indian national, had limited ties to India; his radicalisation and ISIS links with son Naveed are Australian-centric.
