Reference News, December 15 report, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation website, on December 15, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation investigated one of the shooters in the Sydney Bondi Beach shooting six years ago, because he had close ties with an "Islamic State" terrorist group in Sydney.
The 24-year-old Navid Akram and his 50-year-old father Syed Akram opened fire on people attending the "Beach Hanukkah" event on the evening of the 14th.
Navid Akram is currently under police custody in the hospital, while his father was killed in a firefight with the police on the 14th.
At night on the 14th, fully armed police raided their home in Bonnyrigg, southwest of Sydney, as well as a location in Campsie where they had previously lived.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation learned that investigators from the joint counter-terrorism team composed of state and federal agencies believe that the two shooters had pledged allegiance to the "Islamic State" terrorist organization.
According to an anonymous senior official, investigators found two "Islamic State" flags in the car left by the shooters at Bondi Beach.
A senior official from the joint counter-terrorism team, who requested anonymity, said that the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation had been monitoring Navid Akram six years ago, when the police foiled a "Islamic State" organization's terrorist attack plan.
Prime Minister Albanese confirmed that Navid Akram first attracted the attention of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation in October 2019 and was investigated for six months, but the assessment at the time concluded that he did not pose a continuing threat.
