The father and son suspected of committing the horrific attack, identified as Sajid and Naveed Akram, threw four homemade explosive devices in the celebration, all of which failed to detonate. Police describe the devices as three pipe bombs and one tennis ball bomb."
"It was collected by authorities as part of the charging documents for Naveed Akram who was arrested and charged with 59 offenses, including 15 counts of murder and one of terror. His father was killed by police at the scene of the attack. An additional explosive device was found in a car registered to Naveed near the scene of the attack. The two men meticulously planned this terrorist attack for many months, police said."
"The planning was documented in a number of videos on Naveed's phone, which included a video in which the men ma[de] a number of statements regarding their motivation for the Bondi attack' and condemning the acts of Zionists. Authorities also stated that gunmen scoped out the location for their attack two days before it was carried out. On CCTV footage, the men can be seen to exit the vehicle and walk along the footbridge."
