On Tuesday, police disclosed chilling details about the Bondi Beach massacre, Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in years, revealing that the perpetrators had bombs and homemade ISIS flags hidden in their vehicle.

Sajid and Naveed Akram, a father-and-son duo, carried out what was described as “a terrorist attack inspired by Islamic State” specifically targeting the Jewish community on Sunday, according to federal police commissioner Krissy Barrett.

At the crime scene, investigators discovered improvised explosive devices (IEDs) along with at least two black ISIS flags in a car registered to the younger Akram.

Authorities confirmed that both men had recently visited regions in the Philippines known for Islamic State-linked activity just weeks before the attack.

Despite these findings, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese suggested there was no direct evidence indicating the attackers were part of an organized terror network.

“The clear advice that we have at this point is there’s no evidence of collusion, there’s no evidence that these people were part of a cell. Clearly, they were motivated by this extremist ideology,” Albanese told Australia’s ABC network.

“There may well be further information coming to light, but it would appear that these two have acted alone, driven though by this evil ideology.”

The details emerged after the pair fired upon hundreds of people during a 10-minute killing spree at a Hanukkah celebration at the famed beach.

The elder Akram, 50, was fatally shot by police. His 24-year-old son was being treated at a hospital.

The massacre left 15 victims dead and dozens more injured.
