New details about the police case against the alleged Bondi terrorists have been released, including details of an alleged video manifesto linked to the Islamic State and the undetonated explosives – including a “tennis ball bomb” – found at the scene.

Naveed Akram, 24, faces charges of murdering 15 people and injuring dozens more in the shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on 14 December. His 50-year-old father, Sajid Akram, 50, is the second alleged shooter and died at the scene.
