SYDNEY: Australia’s spy agency was “stretched” by threats on many fronts in the lead-up to an antisemitic mass shooting at Bondi in December, the nation’s intelligence chief said Monday.
Sajid Akram and son Naveed are accused of opening fire as Jewish families thronged Bondi Beach for a Hanukkah celebration, killing 15 people in Australia’s worst mass shooting in decades.
