Bondi hero Ahmed Al-Ahmed honored at Sydney match

SYDNEY: England and Australia’s cricket teams on Sunday honored the emergency service personnel and members of the public who responded during last month’s mass shooting at Bondi Beach. The on-field guard of honor ahead of the fifth Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground was met with loud applause from the sold-out crowd. The biggest cheer came when hero Ahmed Al-Ahmed, who ran toward one of the attackers and wrestled the gun from him, walked out. Father and son Sajid and Naveed Akram are accused of targeting a Hanukkah event at the beach on Dec. 14, not far from the ground.
