The trip father and son gunmen took weeks before Bondi terror attack

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has stated there were no prior signs of radicalisation in the father and son who carried out the deadly Bondi Beach attack, despite revelations of past links to a Sydney-based terror cell and recent travel to the extremist hotspot of Mindanao in the Philippines. Naveed Akram and his father Sajid opened fire on a Jewish festival crowd, killing 15 and injuring 42, before being stopped by a civilian and police intervention. Authorities are investigating whether their trip to the Philippines played a role in their motivations, as early findings suggest possible self-radicalisation. The Prime Minister defended the actions of intelligence agencies, noting previous investigations found no evidence of imminent violence, and emphasized the government's commitment to supporting the Jewish community and reviewing gun laws in the wake of the tragedy.
