Australian police find no evidence of broader terrorist network after Bondi Beach attacks

Australian police found no evidence that the two gunmen who killed 15 people in an antisemitic attack at Sydney’s Bondi Beach belonged to a larger terrorist network, authorities said Tuesday.

Sajid Akram, 50, and his son Naveed Akram, 24, spent most of November in Davao City in the southern Philippines before returning to Australia on 29 November, Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett said.

Philippine National Police determined the pair seldom left their hotel during their stay, Barrett said.
