SYDNEY, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Australian Prime ‌Minister Anthony Albanese said on Monday an independent review into law enforcement agencies ‌set up after the Bondi mass shooting will assess whether authorities could ‌have taken additional steps to prevent the terror attack.

Albanese said the review will examine whether existing laws or information gaps stopped police and security agencies from acting against the alleged attackers, a father and son, ‍who police say were inspired by the militant group ‍Islamic State.
