Bondi Beach ISIS Terror Attack
- A Radical Dispatch
1) Heroes in the Face of Terror
One surviving Bondi Beach ISIS-terrorist Naveed Akram has been charged with 15 counts of murder. Naveed was the 24 year old son of the other ISIS attacker Sajid Akram (50), who is now dead.
The Times reports 17th December 2025:
“The surviving suspect in the Bondi beach massacre has been charged with 15 counts of murder in his hospital bed after waking from a coma. Naveed Akram, 24, refused to be interviewed by Sydney police on Wednesday before he was charged with the murders of 15 Jewish festival goers, alongside his father, Sajid Akram, 50, in a terrorist attack on Sunday. His father was shot dead by police at the scene…He has been charged with 44 other offences, including 40 counts of wounding with intent to murder. He has also been charged in relation to displaying a prohibited terrorist symbol, an Islamic State flag, on his car and one count of placing an explosive in or near a building with intent to cause harm.”
If it were not for the heroic deeds of passers-by, many more innocents would most likely have lost their lives. Most prominent among these heroes was the Syrian Muslim tobacconist Ahmed al-Ahmed (43), who incredibly wrestled the rifle from ISIS terrorist Sajid Akram with his bare hands as he was shooting.

Ahmed al-Ahmed was shot multiple times in the process of doing this. He is now recovering in hospital, no doubt making Australia - and his country of origin Syria - incredibly proud of him.

Maajid Nawaz for WARRIOR CREED: “But it was incredibly poetic for the man that stopped these ISIS attackers in Bondi Beach to be Syrian himself. That’s something that would resonate with his country, with everybody in Syria. They would be very proud that he stopped an ISIS attacker in Australia, just as they stopped ISIS in their tracks in Syria from forming their so-called Islamic State. Of course, that is in itself a misnomer. And so that’s important. And it’s important for our Jewish cousins to also be aware of that so that they don’t feel intimidated by every single Muslim, because of course there are multiple times more Muslims around the world in terms of numbers than there are Jews. So it’s understandable that our Jewish cousins would be scared and feel under siege, if it were true that all Muslims think like ISIS or even a less extreme version of ISIS. But the fact is they don’t. Because there are Muslims, our brother like Ahmad al-Ahmed, who are prepared - and this is the key point here - to take a bullet to protect Jewish lives. Ahmad al-Ahmed, the Syrian Muslim, took bullets to his body to protect Jewish lives on Bondi Beach. That is the truth of the matter. And that is what everybody needs to hear. And that is that Muslims are prepared, and do regularly stand in between jihadist terrorists and their intended targets and victims. In this case Jews. In other cases, they could be anybody else. They are usually unsung heroes because they’re not so prominently placed in front of cameras while doing it, as was the case here.”
Australia’s Seven News has provided details of Ahmed al-Ahmed'‘s injuries.

Seven News: “The gentleman who raced into the scene to disarm one of the gunmen we’re just learning some details about him because he has been shot now we are confident in saying that that is him…one of his relatives has just spoken to one of our reporters we’ve got an interview coming in. We understand that this gentleman’s name is Ahmed Al Ahmed, he’s a 43 year old married father of two..And he raced in to help. We understand apparently owns a fruit shop in Sutherland. No experience with guns. He was just walking past. We are told that he has two bullets in his arm, but they think he’s going to be okay. And in the next hour…let’s have a listen to the hero’s relatives talking about his axe this evening at Bondi Beach. ‘Still he’s in hospital and we don’t know exactly what’s going on inside, but they said, the doctor, is okay. And next two hours they let us to go in and see Ahmed, because he’s still inside, and he did the operation. But we hope he will be fine. He’s a hero, 100%. He’s a hero, because what we see on the social media, he’s 100% a hero. He has two shots, one in his arm here, and one in his hands’. ‘And have you been able to talk to him today?’ ‘No. No, because I come when I see what’s happening, and I come here to see him. But they said there’s not allowed to go inside because you have to make an operation whatever. I’m still waiting to see him’. Well there you go, some first-hand accounts.”
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has visited al-Ahmed in hospital to thank him on behalf of the Australian people.

PM Albanese to Ahmed al-Ahmed: “Very strong. Your heart is strong. Your courage is inspiring.”
Some have pondered aloud as to whether Ahmed al-Ahmed should have shot dead Sajid Akram once he successfully relieved him of his weapon. Our view is that for evidential, investigative and preventative purposes, it is preferable to capture terrorists alive where possible.
But al-Ahmed was not the only hero of the day.
Some didn’t make it out alive. Yet still they tried to physically fight armed terrorists with their bare hands. Among them is the Jewish martyr Reuven Morrison. His daughter spoke to CBS news about what her heroic father did.
CBS News reports 15th December 2025:

Daughter: “My dear father, Reuven Morrison, was shot dead for being Jewish at a Hanukkah event on Bondi Beach. He had jumped up the second the shooting started. He managed to throw bricks. He was screaming at the terrorist. And protecting his community, he was shot dead. If there was one way for him to go on this earth, he would be fighting a terrorist. There was no other way he would be taken from us. He went down fighting, protecting the people he loved the most.”
Broadcaster: “And is that in his character, that is something that he would have done? Run into danger?”
Daughter: “Yes. He’s not one to lie down. He is one to run towards danger.”
Broadcaster: “And when you saw that footage of your father, what did you think of him performing those acts of heroism?”
Daughter: “That’s him. That’s my dad, as I called him. My tati in Yiddish. That was him. Everyone that knew him knew the incredible man that was just too big for this world. The light that he added, his absolute immense and endless generosity, his sense of humour. He was just the most incredible person.”
Broadcaster: “Who has failed you and your family and your father?”
Daughter: “The Australian government. Absolutely. They’ve had the warning signs for so long. The Jewish community has been begging and begging and begging for action. And we’ve fallen off deaf ears. Deaf ears.”
Another hero was an anonymous Middle Eastern refugee who has an Australian wife. This brave asylum seeker had sought to disarm the ISIS terrorist, but was mistakenly shot instead by Australian police and then attacked by the crowd who wrongly thought that he was a terrorist.
The Telegraph reports 15th December 2025:

Perhaps few others images from the day are as heart breaking as those of the married heroic Jewish couple Boris and Sofia Gurman.
This couple also tried to fight the armed ISIS attacker with their bare hands, before Ahmed al-Ahmed had done so, except the elderly couple were tragically overpowered and then executed while still in each others’ arms.
New York Post reports 16th December 2025:
“Harrowing video shows an Australian couple heroically trying to take down one of the Bondi Beach terrorists — before both were shot and left to die in each other’s arms just weeks before the 35th wedding anniversary. Boris Gurman, 69, and his 61-year-old wife, Sofia, tried to thwart one of the gunmen after they spotted the rifle-toting terrorist emerging from a car draped with a homemade ISIS flag before the deadly rampage began on Sunday, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.”

The below image of how the Gurman’s finally came to rest was taken by drone footage.
Here they are while alive, married for 35 years and in love with each other until their heroic and untimely death.
2) ISIS Terrorists Trained in the Philippines
It appears that the ISIS terrorists Sajid and Naveed Akram travelled to the Philippines for specialist training a month before their attack.
The Times reports 16th December 2025:
“Last month, both suspected attackers underwent military-style training in the southern Philippines. Authorities in Manila confirmed on Tuesday that they entered the country on November 1, with the southern province of Davao listed as their final destination. Sajid Akram entered as an ‘Indian national’. Dana Sandoval, an immigration spokeswoman, said: ‘Sajid Akram, 50, Indian national, and Naveed Akram, 24, Australian national, arrived in the Philippines together last November 1, 2025 from Sydney, Australia. Both reported Davao as their final destination. They left the country on November 28, 2025 on a connecting flight from Davao to Manila, with Sydney as their final destination’.”
Contrary to initial disinformation campaigns labelling the attackers as being Pakistani origin, the dead father Sajid Akram had travelled to the Philippines on an Indian passport.
Bloomberg reports 16th December 2025:
The BBC confirms this story.
BBC reports 14th December 2025:
Travel by the father-son duo to the Philippines for training immediately raises this terrorist attack into the orbit of global terrorism. Previously this month, ISIS had also attacked US and Syrian troops in Syria.
BBC reports 13th December 2025:
“Two US soldiers and a US civilian interpreter have been killed in Syria in an ambush by an Islamic State (IS) gunman, the US Central Command (Centcom) has said. Officials said three other service members were injured in the attack, during which the gunman was ‘engaged and killed’. Syria’s state news said two Syrian service personnel were also injured. US President Donald Trump wrote on social media that it was ‘an ISIS attack’ against the US and Syria and said there would be ‘a very serious retaliation’. Syria’s president sent condolences to Trump after the attack.”
After that incident, President Trump had sworn revenge.

With the training in the Philippines, and after these recent ISIS attacks in Syria kept in mind, Bondi Beach immediately takes on a dimension of international terrorism. This is serious.
3) ISIS Was Founded by the CIA
With this global framing in play, and when questioning motive, we must ask which entities would seek to destabilise President Trump’s peace initiatives in both Syria and Gaza? The answer is globalist permawar technocrats.
Regulars will be aware that Radical Media has repeatedly warned of globalist permawar enthusiasts who seek to divide and conquer, in aid of their desired one-world government and technocracy.
NOTE: The reader is referring here to our interview with Joe Rogan. Watch the full Rogan episode 1780 on Rumble.
One particularly effective way of derailing peace is to sow discord and fear through terror attacks, while scapegoating an entire community for blame so that peace terms can never be reached.
It is with this in mind that we remind the reader that the founders of ISIS were the CIA.
Radical Media reports 26th June 2024:
Most damning was Assange’s true assertion that the CIA and their allies in Mossad had been behind facilitating the rise of ISIS in Syria via the Sunni Muslim governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar in order to undermine the Russia and Iran-allied Shia-Alawite regime in Damascus.
The Daily Express reports 29th November 2016:
“Mr Assange said a decision by the CIA, together with Saudi Arabia, to plough billions of dollars into arming the Mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan to tackle the Soviet Union, had led to the creation of terror group al-Qaeda.
This, in turn, he said led to the 9/11 terror strikes, the invasion of Afghanhistan and Iraq by the US, and the creation of ISIS.”
Click to play:
Assange: “…early 2014 email, from Hillary Clinton, so not so long after she left Secretary of State, to her campaign manager, John Podesta. That email, it states that ISIL, ISIS, is funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Now, this is a…I actually, I think this is the most significant email in the whole collection, and perhaps because Saudi and Qatari money is spread all over the place, including into many media institutions. All serious analysts know, even the US government has mentioned or agreed with, that some Saudi figures have been supporting ISIS, funding ISIS, but the dodge has always been that it’s just some rogue princes, using their cut of the oil money to do whatever they like, but actually the government disapproves. But that email says that, no, it is the governments of Saudi and Qatar that have been funding ISIS. Under Hillary Clinton, and Clinton emails reveal significant discussion about it, the largest ever arms deal in the world was made with Saudi Arabia, more than $80 billion. In fact, during her tenure as Secretary of State, total arms exports from the United States in terms of the dollar value doubled.”
Correspondent: “And of course, the consequence of that is that this notorious terrorist jihadist group called ISIL, or ISIS, is created largely with money from the very people who are giving money to the Clinton Foundation”.
Assange: “Yes…my analysis is that Trump would not be permitted to win. Why do I say that? Because he’s had every establishment offside. Trump doesn’t have one establishment, maybe with the exception of the evangelicals if you can call them an establishment. But, banks, intelligence, arms companies..”
Correspondent: “...Well, they all want him...”
Assange: “…big foreign money et. cetera. is all united behind Hillary Clinton, and the media.”
In the current year 2025, what Assange had been openly stating a decade ago about US foreign policy no longer sounds that controversial. But back then, what Assange was claiming was truly shocking to the world.
Clearly, such commentary coming from a man with leaked official government documents to back up his claims of Western psychopathy in foreign policy - which he was by now making regularly to the world’s media - posed a very real threat to the Western security establishment. The globalist deep state rightly feared that this was too much power for one man to have.
Subsequent wars in Ukraine and Gaza have only strengthened Assange’s case, that Western globalist powers seek to perpetuate a state of permawar for power and profit.
In detached hindsight from the vantage point of 2025, it is obvious that Julian Assange was arbitrarily detained for 12 years for telling the truth.
By now, even President Trump has repeated Julian Assange’s most extreme foreign policy claims, such as the allegation that the CIA facilitated ISIS.
Radical Media has previously reported on this issue.
The Radical Dispatch reports 27th March 2024, extract:
ISIS is a Western intel proxy. Any who concern themselves with counter-terrorism know this. By now there is little doubt about this uncomfortable fact.
Off Guardian reports 6th January 2017:
“On Wednesday, Wikileaks released new evidence of US President-elect Donald Trump’s assertion that Barack Obama was the founder of ISIS – a leaked audio of US Secretary of State John Kerry’s meeting with members of the Syrian opposition at the Dutch Mission of the UN on September 22…the White House allowed the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group to rise. Obama’s administration hoped that growing the power of IS in Syria would force Assad to search for a diplomatic solution on US terms, forcing him to cede power. In its turn, in order to achieve these two goals, Washington intentionally armed members of the terrorist group and even attacked a Syrian government military convoy, trying to stop a strategic attack on the IS, killing 80 Syrian soldiers.”
Here is the original Wikileaks post:
And here is the original leaked audio:
And if there were any doubt that our very own intelligence services facilitate, coordinate and steer these terrorists, here is a video of a Ukrainian fighter wearing an ISIS patch.

Moving to the 2016 Presidential race, and by then even President Trump was making these shocking claims that Obama and Clinton facilitated ISIS, openly in his campaign rallies.
Click to play:
Trump: “ISIS is honouring President Obama. He is the founder of ISIS. He’s the founder of ISIS. Okay? He’s the founder. He founded ISIS. And, I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.”
Perhaps in a freudian slip, President Obama does appear to have accidentally confessed it so.

Obama: “So with the additional steps I ordered last month, we’re speeding up training of ISIL forces, including volunteers from Sunni tribes in Anbar province.”
4) Netanyahu’s Strange Reaction
Is it any surprise then that, rather than mourn the loss of innocent lives in Australia, key globalist warmonger Netanyahu sought instead to victim-blame the country that was attacked?
