Bondi Attackers Plotted for Months, Used Homemade Bombs Before Deadly Shooting

  • The deadly December 14 Bondi Beach shooting, which killed 15, was meticulously planned for months by a father-son duo.
  • Perpetrators Sajid Akram (killed by police) and Naveed Akram (charged with 59 offenses) conducted surveillance and trained with firearms.
  • Before shooting, they hurled homemade pipe and tennis ball bombs at the crowd, but these failed to detonate.
  • Evidence includes a video of them with an Islamic State flag, 3D-printed gun parts, and bomb-making equipment.
  • New South Wales is proposing stricter gun laws, banning terror symbols, and restricting protests in response to the attack.

Why It Matters: Bondi attack reveals months of planning, failed bomb attempts, and prompts stricter NSW gun laws.
