SYDNEY: A father and son appeared to be driven by "Islamic State ideology" when they opened fire on a Jewish festival at Sydney's Bondi Beach, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Tuesday (Dec 16).

Sajid Akram and his son Naveed killed 15 people in a mass shooting that targeted a Jewish Hanukkah celebration at the famous beach on Sunday evening.
