Shocking new details about the Bondi terrorist attack have been revealed as the Downing Centre Local Court approved the release of bombshell documents that had been suppressed.
In the dossier of information, which includes mention of a “Bondi attack” as early as October 2025, are extraordinary new photos that capture the alleged movements of the accused, Naveed Akram, 24, and Sajid Akram, 50.
The NSW Joint Counter-Terrorism Team (JCTT), which comprised of members from NSW Police, the Australian Federal Police and ASIO, prepared a fact sheet for the court which details the alleged details leading up to the horrific attack, which left 15 innocent people dead.
The fact sheet alleged that Naveed made a booking on Airbnb in October 2025 for a property in Campsie. That booking was made for the property from December 2 to December 21 according to the document.
That Airbnb is made up of five individually bookable rooms. It is not clear if other people were staying alongside Naveed in other rooms of the Campsie Airbnb during his stay.
CCTV footage shows Naveed carrying a large bulky item. Police alleged that this item was concealing two single barrel shotguns, a Betetta rifle, four home-made improvised explosives devices, comprising of pipe bombs and a tennis ball bomb and a large IED bomb, and two Islamic State flags.
The items were allegedly put into the car, a silver Hyundai, at 2.16am in the dark of night.
CCTV later captured the father and son returning to the vehicle at 5.09pm, before they drove to Sydney’s inner-east.
On the trip from Campsie to Bondi Beach, CCTV captured the car stopping in Woollahra.
Sajid was observed exiting the car and checking the boot before reentering the vehicle.
The car was seen on CCTV across multiple roads before it arrived at Bondi Beach.
When the car parked on Campbell Parade, CCTV captured Naveed and his father removing the ISIS flags from the boot of the car, placing them inside the car on the front and rear windscreens.
The father and son then allegedly moved a short distance to the footbridge at Bondi Beach, with NSW Police believing they then threw some of the explosive devices onto the carpark below.
Shocking photos of the bombs were released as part of the fact sheet.
After that, police alleged the fatal shooting begun.
Evidence allegedly found on Naveed Akram’s phone
An iPhone was seized by NSW Police after the fatal terror attack in Bondi.
Other devices were later seized at a Bonnyrigg address and at the Airbnb the accused was staying at.
On those devices, JCTT found “relevant videos and images” which indicated that Naveed and Sajid “adhered to a religiously motivated violent extremist (RMVE) ideology”, according to the fact sheet.
A video file, which was allegedly reported in October 2025, showed Naveed and Sajid sitting infront of an ISIS flag.
In a video, the father and son were observed reciting a passage from the Quran, before speaking in English, mentioning the “Bondi attack” and condemning the acts of “Zionists”.
