The time and place of the attack clearly targeted the Jewish community. People attending the Hanukkah festival at Bondi Beach were busy celebrating when the two terrorists started firing at them. During the incident, the terrorists instructed people to stop going towards the Jewish community only, which makes it clear that their target was only the Jews.
Navid was investigated even 6 years ago
An Indian Intelligence Bureau official told news agency IANS that six years ago the Australian intelligence agency had investigated Navid Akram because he was suspected of being linked to ISIS. Naveed had been living in hiding since the investigation and now it seems that he waited for the right time to carry out this horrific attack.
According to investigators, Naveed’s father Sajid Akram was the owner of a fruit shop. His son was fired from the brickwork about two months ago after his company went bankrupt.
