00:00Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach, one of the world's most famous waterfronts, turned into a war zone

00:21during a Hanukkah celebration in what authorities are calling one of Australia's deadliest

00:26terrorist attacks. Police say 50-year-old Sajid Akram and his 24-year-old son Naveed opened fire

00:34on a Jewish Hanukkah 2020 by the sea event, killing at least 15 people and injuring dozens more in

00:43minutes. Tonight, the story behind the Bondi gunman traced back to Hyderabad, his links, his radicalization,

00:51and the big questions now facing both Australia and India. What happened at Bondi? The attack began

00:59on a Sunday evening as families, children and tourists gathered along Campbell Parade for the

01:05Festival of Lights. Witnesses described sudden rapid gunfire from an elevated footbridge, people

01:12dropping to the ground and a stampede as crowds ran for cover. Police say the father-son duo used long

01:19barrel guns and fired for nearly 10 minutes before officers shot and killed Sajid at the scene,

01:25while Naveed was critically injured and rushed to hospital under heavy guard. Among the dead are

01:31worshippers from 10 to over 80 years old, with more than 40 others hospitalized, including children

01:38and at least two police officers. Who is Sajid Akram? Investigators have now confirmed that one of the

01:45gunmen, Sajid Akram was originally from Hyderabad and migrated to Australia around 27 years ago.

01:54Despite living in Australia for nearly three decades, officials say he still held an Indian passport

02:00and had limited contact with his extended family back home. Relatives in Telangana recall him as a man

02:07who visited India only a handful of times after settling abroad, building a life in Australia,

02:13and marrying a woman of European descent. Police in India stress that Sajid had no known criminal

02:20record in the country and that there is no evidence his radicalization was linked to local networks in

02:26Hyderabad. Naveed, ISIS links and Philippines trip. The surviving gunman, Naveed Akram, is an Australian

02:35citizen and was already known to security agencies for past links to an Islamic State-inspired cell in Sydney.

02:43Australian intelligence agency, ASIO, had reportedly examined him in 2019 for close ties to extremists,

02:52but at the time concluded he did not pose an ongoing threat. Officials now say the pair appeared to be

02:58driven by Islamic State ideology, with IS flags recovered from their vehicle near the attack site.

03:05Investigators are also probing a recent trip the father and son made to the Philippines,

03:10looking into claims they may have received guidance or training before returning to carry out the attack.

03:17Impact on India and Australia

03:19In India, the revelation that the prime Bandai gunman was an Indian passport holder from Hyderabad

03:26has triggered shock, political debate and questions about monitoring diaspora links in global terror cases.

03:34Australian leaders, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, have condemned the massacre as a

03:39terrorist attack inspired by Islamic State and promised a full review of intelligence gaps.

03:46Both countries are now under pressure to coordinate more closely on intelligence sharing,

03:51track radicalization routes across borders, and reassure Jewish and other vulnerable

03:56communities after this anti-Semitic slaughter. As families mourn the 15 lives lost at Bandai,

04:04investigators in Sydney, Hyderabad and Manila are racing to map every step that led to this night of terror.

04:12The big question now, was this a lone radical family or the visible tip of a deeper global network waiting to strike again?
