Naveed Akram had trained in boxing several months before he and his father allegedly went on a murderous rampage at Bondi Beach, killing 15 innocent people.

SYDNEY: A former colleague of one of the Bondi Beach attackers told a foreign media outlet that Naveed Akram’s background is Indian. In an interview with A Current Affair, former co-worker Lachie said he immediately identified Akram when he saw his photograph online.

The two gunmen responsible for the Bondi Beach shooting that targeted Sydney’s Jewish community have been identified as a father and son, Naveed and Sajid Akram. The attack left 16 people dead, including a child,

Before Sajid Akram was granted a gun licence, the domestic intelligence agency ASIO had warned NSW Police that his son, Naveed Akram, had been associating with Islamic extremists.

At least one of the gunmen who killed 15 people in Sunday's Bondi Beach terrorist attack was known to authorities as a follower of a notorious Sydney pro-Islamic State cleric, the ABC can reveal.
