Australian police say Bondi Beach attackers acted alone
“There is no evidence that the two men were operating as part of a broader cell,” Barrett said, providing an update on the counter-terrorism operation following the Dec. 14 attack, according to reports.
The shooting occurred during a Hanukkah celebration, resulting in 15 fatalities and approximately 42 injuries. One of the suspected attackers was killed during the incident, while the other sustained critical injuries.
Twenty-four-year-old Naveed Akram has been charged with 59 offenses related to the shooting, including 15 counts of murder. Barrett emphasized that there is no evidence indicating that Naveed and his father, Sajid, were directed by others to carry out the attack.
"Given impending court processes and other security matters, I can't provide all the details that we have," she added.
During the same press conference, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese defended the government’s decision not to establish a national royal commission into the incident, emphasizing that the focus in Canberra is on “bringing the country together.”
