Sydney Beach attacker has Indian connection
There was strong reaction on social media after it was learnt that the Bondi Beach shooter has an Indian connection, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
A friend of the gunmen told media outlets that the Sydney attacker Naveed Akram has an Indian (father) and Italian (mother) background.
“No matter the background, targeting innocent people celebrating a festival is pure evil and has no place in any community or religion,” social media users said.
