Man Buys Homemade ISIS Flags, Calls It Radical DIY Project
KEY POINTS
- •Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the 2025 Bondi Beach shooting targeted Jewish people and was ISIS-inspired.
- •Investigators found improvised explosive devices and homemade ISIS flags in a car linked to suspect Naveed Akram.
- •The younger suspect and his father traveled to the Philippines shortly before the attack, raising further questions.
On December 14, 2025, Sydney’s picturesque Bondi Beach became the unlikely stage for not just sunbathers, but also a tragic mass shooting killing 15 and injuring over 40, allegedly inspired by Islamic State ideology—talk about vacation plans gone horribly wrong. Suspects Naveed Akram, 24, and his 50-year-old dad Sajid, apparently took an alarming family trip to the Philippines last month, poking investigators' interest. They left behind homemade ISIS flags and DIY IEDs in a car, which can only be described as the worst garage project ever. PM Anthony Albanese assured us they're “doing what they can” to combat antisemitism, reminding us it’s a historical classic that’s stuck around way longer than most unfashionable trends.
