Australian authorities on Wednesday charged the surviving suspect in the Bondi beach shooting with 59 offenses, including terrorism, after he woke up from a coma. New South Wales police said 24-year-old Naveed Akram was charged with 15 counts of murder, 40 counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to murder and one count each for committing a terrorist act, discharging firearms, placing explosives and publicly displaying a terrorist organization symbol. The second suspect, Akram's 50-year-old father Sajid, was shot dead by police officers at the scene on Sunday. The two suspects are alleged to have opened fire at a Hanukkah event, killing 15 people. |
