CNA938 Rewind - Bondi beach shooting: Sparking fears of lone wolf terrorism
Authorities say the two gunmen involved in the deadly mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach – Sajid Akram and his son Naveed – appear to have acted alone. This has sparked fears of lone wolf terrorism – when individuals carry out political violence without direct support or instruction from an established terrorist network. Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman examine how terror attacks are shifting and the risk of copycat attacks inspired by lone wolf incidents overseas. For that, they speak with Prof Rohan Gunaratna, Professor of Security Studies, S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, NTU.
