The two gunmen who opened fire on Australia’s Bondi Beach where thousands of Jews were celebrating Hanukkah are believed to be a father-son duo who had a trove of legally-owned guns.
Naveed Akram, 24, and his 50-year-old accomplice are believed to be father and son, authorities said on Monday.

Twelve people, including children, are dead after two gunmen armed with rifles opened fire at Bondi Beach on Sunday afternoon, in an act of terrorism targeting a Jewish holiday celebration.
Witnesses said two men stepped out of a vehicle on Campbell Parade, near Bondi Pavilion, and opened fire about 6.40pm on Sunday with footage showing blast after blast on the tourist strip. Some witnesses report more than 30 shots.
Video and photos taken by a Daily Mail photographer show a gunman, later identified as Naveed Akram, 24, from Bonnyrigg in Sydney’s southwest, opening fire from an elevated bridge.

BBC Live feed: Eleven killed in shooting targeting Jewish community at Australia’s Bondi Beach, police say
Stringent gun control failed to prevent a firearm-based mass killing by terrorists that ended the lives of 11 innocents at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday evening.
Breitbart News noted that the Jewish community was targeted in the terrorist attack and that one of the two gunmen behind the attack was also killed.
Watch for the head stomp…
I’m going to take a wild guess and say the shooters are the ‘Doctors’ or ‘Engineers’ imported into Western society .
Prayers to the people in Bondi Beach. This shit needs to end. https://t.co/imQuqA8LKM

Donald Trump spat out the word like something rotten: ‘Garbage,’ he said. ‘They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country.’ His voice rising, his rage unmistakable, he railed against Somali immigrants in the United States.
It was a line designed to explode across the airwaves.
Trump wasn’t shouting into a void – he was pressing on a wound. In Minnesota, home to one of America’s biggest Somali communities, prosecutors are unpicking one of the largest frauds in US history.
The FBI says that during the Covid-era, the Feeding Our Future non-profit organisation – which claimed to be serving more than 40,000 meals to poor schoolchildren every week – siphoned off $250million (£187million) in grants and donations, and funnelled the money into luxury cars, houses and private bank accounts.
Police have arrested five men suspected of planning an attack on a Christmas market in Lower Bavaria. The Munich public prosecutor’s office confirmed this on Saturday evening.
According to the Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office, three Moroccans aged 22, 28, and 30, an Egyptian (56), and a Syrian (37) were arrested on Friday. The five men are alleged to have planned an attack on a Christmas market near Dingolfing in Lower Bavaria. The tabloid newspaper ” Bild ” had previously reported on the case.
Remigration Now A Must h/t Patti Jo
The Council on American-Islamic Relations is taking a beating this holiday season. Just before Thanksgiving, Texas designated the civil rights organization, known colloquially as “CAIR,” as a foreign terrorist organization. Florida followed suit on December 8.
The day that Governor Ron DeSantis designated CAIR, news broke that the organization’s political advocacy arm, CAIR Action, has been operating in America “without the licenses, registrations, or legal authority required in any of the 22 states where it raises money or conducts political activity.” Nor does CAIR Action possess the documentation required to “legally operate or solicit funds” at Washington, D.C., where it’s incorporated.
Tears of joy streamed down Abdulhkeem Alshater’s face as he joined thousands of other Syrian nationals in central Vienna last year. The moment they were marking felt like a miracle: after more than five decades of brutality and repression, the Assad regime had fallen.
A day later, however, the ripple effects of what had happened 2,000 miles away in Syria were laid bare. A dozen European states announced plans to suspend asylum applications from Syrians, in a show of how western states are increasingly treating refugees as transients. As the fall of Bashar al-Assad collided with politicians’ quest to be seen as taking a hard line on migration, the lives of Syrians around the globe were plunged into uncertainty.
In Austria, where Alshater had spent the past decade painstakingly rebuilding his life – learning German, upgrading his professional certifications and raising his family – the government said it had ordered a review of cases where asylum had been granted to Syrians and that a programme of “orderly repatriation and deportation” was being prepared.
So, thousands of Shared Services Canada (SSC) employees had to forgo coffee breaks and lunches during the month-long Ramadan 2025 to spare a few fasting Muslim coworkers from feeling uncomfortable.
Managers were instructed to schedule key meetings and chats around times when fasting “energy levels were low.” Work wasn’t to interfere with their pre-dawn and post-sunset Suhoor and Iftar meals.
Trump may have abandoned Europe, but Europe abandoned itself first.
“The leader of the Islamic State in Somalia has a wife and three children in Britain,” reveals the Daily Telegraph. Abdul Qadir Mumin lived for a long time in the United Kingdom, where he obtained British citizenship and delivered sermons in London mosques. During that period, Mumin married the British Somali Muna Abdule and had one son and two daughters, who still live in Slough.
Does Slough ring a bell?
Slough is a town eight minutes by car from the royal family’s Windsor Castle and from Eton, the school of the English elite, and has a 30 percent Muslim population.
More than 8-in-10 households headed by Somali refugees in the state of Minnesota are on one or more forms of American taxpayer-funded welfare, new data published by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reveals.
The conviction of two Afghan ‘small boat’ asylum seekers for orally raping a teenage girl was bad enough—but those close to the case fear matters could get much worse.
Unusually given their purported age, Judge Sylvia De Bertodano lifted reporting restrictions and allowed the naming of Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal—who both claim to be about 17, but threw away their documents before arriving on UK shores illegally—in the public interest.
There are scandals that explode with theatrical outrage, and there are scandals that settle over a nation like a quiet, damning verdict. Minnesota’s autism-therapy fraud belongs firmly in the latter category. On November 22, 2025, The Washington Post noted — with the weary delicacy that now accompanies every public-sector failure — that welfare fraud in Minnesota had become “far too common,” highlighting federal charges against eight men, six of them Somali, accused of exploiting the state’s Housing Stabilization Services program under Medicaid and helping force the program’s shutdown.
Hasan Mohamed was blasted after he posted the menacing anti-ICE tirade on social media, where he vowed to shoot immigration agents the next time they show up in his Owatonna neighborhood.

I tell you what – Democrats and Somalis are going to rue the day the Senate Dems forced the government into that extended shutdown. That was the tipping point, and just the extra bit of time needed to bring this extraordinary, biblical amount of waste, fraud, and abuse into the public sphere, where it had been floating at the edges for decades.
Everyone has been watching the Minnesota Somali scandals get deeper, more sordid, and, oh, dear God – more expensive than we ever thought possible.
An Afghan national has been charged with raping two 14-year-old girls in a flat in Bolton at the weekend, Greater Manchester Police said.
Officers arrested Sultani Bakatash, 28, in connection with the alleged incident at a flat in the Middle Hulton area early on Sunday.
The Afghan national has now been charged with two counts of rape of a girl aged under 16, one count of sexual assault and one count of assault by penetration.
Just another day in Jolly Old England.
