ABC airs Bondi terrorist claims despite ASIO legal threat
A still from the Four Corners episode, "Bondi: Path To Terror", which aired last night despite a legal threat from ASIO
ABC’s Four Corners aired claims from a former spy that ASIO was told about the Bondi shooter’s terrorist links in 2019, despite threats of legal action before the episode went to air.
Bondi: Path To Terror was the second of a two-part investigation into the December 14 Bondi Beach attack, in which Naveed Akram and his father, Sajid, killed 15 people at a Hanukkah gathering.
During the episode, which aired on Monday night, a former undercover agent using the pseudonym Marcus claimed he warned the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) in 2019 that Naveed Akram was associating with Islamic State (IS) extremists and had been radicalised. Marcus was acting undercover as Akram’s teacher.
