Bondi shooter identified as Narveed Akram as National Security Committee convenes after attack

One Bondi shooter has been identified as Narveed Akram

One of the gunmen involved in Sunday evening’s deadly shooting at Bondi has been identified by Australian state broadcaster ABC as Narveed Akram, a resident of Bonnyrigg in Sydney’s south-west.

A senior law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed Akram’s identity and said police are currently executing a raid at his Bonnyrigg home as part of the ongoing investigation.

Ten people have been confirmed dead.

The identification comes as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese convened an urgent meeting of Cabinet’s National Security Committee (NSC).

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said the prime minister is receiving briefings from all relevant security agencies, including the Australian Federal Police.

The NSC, which considers the country’s highest-risk national security matters, has the authority to make decisions without full Cabinet approval.



As emergency services continue to respond, hospitals across Sydney are under pressure. ABC reporter Jeremy Fernandez, speaking from St Vincent’s Hospital, said additional staff were being called in to manage a surge of patients following the shootings. He noted the proximity of the hospital to the Bondi Junction stabbing attack last year, describing a sense of shock and grim familiarity among medical staff and journalists alike.

Community leaders have also responded swiftly. The Australian National Imams Council and the Council of Imams NSW issued a joint statement unequivocally condemning the violence, expressing condolences to the victims and their families, and calling for unity and solidarity across all communities. The statement rejected violence in all forms and urged Australians to support one another as investigations into the Bondi attack continue.

  1. So deeply saddened. This world seems to be descending into a dark pit of hate. Religion should be a light in the dark. Sadly it is being dragged into the dark in the name of evil.

  2. Filth. Disgusting behaviour from cowards. How dare they do this here to children and their families celebrating a holiday innocently at the beach. Disgusting heinous pigs. Get them out. Keep them out. Go the hero who wrestled the gun from pig 1, I wish he would have shot him right between the eyes at the same time. Should have sat him the car with the IEDs and pressed the button.

  3. Only people who have not lost their dear ones to jihadi nutheads, hellbent on getting their 72 virgins will talk about “calm”, to provide cover to these beasts living amongst us. We have to know there exists in this jihadi groupings who are always on the streets screaming for “rights” of people who are living in their own lands AND collecting refugee handouts and allowances, in our country, have the propensity for committing such acts of barbarity, to collect their celestial “rewards” in their afterlife brothel.

  4. Continue to bomb and destroy muslim countries. To ” protect” the so called chosen ones…
    You reap what you sow. Refugies who lost everything and can only feel hatred for the ones responsibles for death of next of kin.

  5. It will continue until everyone realities islam is not comparable with the west & the koran’s (all of them) call for jihad (death) on every jew

  6. jews jews jews – talmud devotees = jews,- look at bolsheviks = jews – holodomor = jews, 911 = jews = buying up ukraine land = jews, bullshit holocast = jews, usury / federal reserve = jews, council for foreign relations = jews, hatred of white christians = jews
    Wake up people!!!

    could well be food for thought
