New documents contain redactions, images from video of Sajid Akram and his son Naveed
\n Sydney
\nAs Australia continues its investigation into the deadliest mass shooting in decades, the newly released court documents on Monday revealed fresh details and images of the father-and-son duo, who are accused of opening fire on a religious festival at Sydney\u2019s Bondi Beach, killing 15 people.
\nThe documents, released by the NSW Courts as part of the police facts sheet on Monday, contain redactions, images from a video of Sajid Akram and his son Naveed Akram.
\nThe documents claimed that the father-and-son duo had carried out \u201cfirearms training\u201d in what was believed to be the New South Wales countryside prior to the shooting.
\nAn alleged video found on Naveed\u2019s mobile phone from late October shows the father and son training, \u201cfiring shotguns and moving in a tactical manner\u201d in the countryside.
\nThe NSW police believe that the suspects were inspired by Daesh, saying the group\u2019s flags were found in a car they drove.
\nWhile Sajid was shot dead by police, Naveed is still recovering from his bullet injuries in hospital and has been charged with 59 offences, including murder and terrorism.
\nThe pair also recorded a video in October railing against \u201cZionists\u201d while sitting in front of a flag of the Daesh alongside four long-barrelled guns and rounds of ammunition and detailing their motivations for the attack, police said.
\nThe attackers made a nighttime reconnaissance trip to Bondi Beach just days before the killings, documents showed.
\nA CCTV footage, presented to the court, showed the two men allegedly leaving an Airbnb in Campsie on the day of the attack and travelling toward Bondi Beach while carrying concealed weapons.
\nAccording to the alleged facts, the duo threw four improvised explosive devices into the crowd moments before opening fire. While none of the devices detonated, police say three pipe bombs and a tennis ball bomb were all viable.
\nAustralia\u2019s federal government has flagged a suite of reforms to gun ownership and hate speech laws, as well as a review of police and intelligence services.
\nPrime Minister Anthony Albanese also announced a sweeping buyback scheme to \u201cget guns off our streets\u201d.
\nThe government of New South Wales \u2014 where the shooting took place \u2014 recalled its parliament for two days on Monday to introduce what it called the \u201ctoughest firearm reforms in the country\u201d.
\n\u201cWe can\u2019t pretend that the world is the same as it was before that terrorist incident on Sunday,\u201d New South Wales Premier Chris Minns told reporters.
\nThe new rules will cap the number of guns an individual can own to four, or 10 for exempted individuals like farmers. There are more than 1.1 million firearms in the state, officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
