From Hospital to Prison: Details Reveal Training of Bondi Attack Perpetrators (Photos)

SadaNews Translation - On Monday, Australian police announced the transfer of the suspect in last week’s Bondi Beach shooting incident from the hospital to prison, after receiving treatment under tight security. Authorities clarified that Naveed Akram, 24-years-old, faces a series of serious charges, including terrorism-related charges and committing 15 murders, as part of ongoing investigations to uncover the circumstances surrounding the bloody attack.

According to the indictment as translated by SadaNews, Naveed Akram and his father, Sajid Akram, underwent intensive training in shooting and explosives manufacturing in remote areas of New South Wales, Australia. Accompanying videos show Naveed firing a weapon and advancing with a firearm during one of the training sessions. Investigations indicate that the accused threw three pipe bombs and another tennis ball-shaped bomb at the crowd before the shooting started, but these did not explode, while a larger bomb was found in their vehicle.

Raids following the attack revealed additional weapons inside their home, including a bow and arrow, as well as a 3D printer used to manufacture weapons and their parts. Documents also indicated that the father and son conducted a reconnaissance of the attack site two days prior to its execution, which the police considered clear evidence of premeditated planning. Evidence suggests that these preparations took several months, reinforcing the hypothesis of pre-planned operation.

In related developments, police revealed that the accused recorded a video prior to the operation, in which they discussed their motives and announced their support for ISIS, confirming in the recording that they "condemn the actions of the Zionists." This video was found on one of the suspects’ phones and is part of the evidence currently being analyzed within the ongoing investigations.
