Fifteen people died in a mass shooting during a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney's Bondi Beach, treated as an Islamic State-inspired terrorist attack. Australian police identified suspects as father-son duo: Sajid Akram (50), shot dead at scene, and Naveed Akram (24), hospitalized under guard. Telangana police confirmed Sajid migrated from Hyderabad to Australia in November 1998 on a student visa after earning a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He lived in Australia for 27 years, married Venera Grosso, and had Australian-citizen children while retaining Indian passport. Investigators recovered improvised explosives and Islamic State flags from their vehicle. The pair visited Davao, Philippines, in November, raising scrutiny over potential military-style training connections before the December 14 attack.(PC: WAtoday)
