According to newly released court documents, the assailants who allegedly carried out a deadly attack on a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach last week began their assault by throwing four undetonated explosives, including a device described as a “tennis ball bomb.”
Naveed Akram, 24, has been charged with dozens of offences, including 15 counts of murder, for the attack on a Hanukkah celebration on 14 December.
Akram, who was shot and wounded by police, was released from the hospital on Monday and transferred to a correctional facility. The second alleged gunman, his father Sajid Akram, was killed at the scene by police.
Police documents state that the pair recorded a video manifesto in October, filmed in front of an Islamic State group flag.
