Breaking News: Australian PM Orders Immediate Intelligence Review Amid Bondi Attack Chaos
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has ordered an immediate review into the country's police and national intelligence agencies following the deadly Bondi Beach attack in Sydney. The shooting, which occurred last Sunday, has been declared a terrorist incident, with 15 people killed after two gunmen opened fire at a Jewish festival.
The attack, which was inspired by Islamic State ideology, has sent shockwaves across the nation, prompting a national day of reflection on Sunday. A minute's silence was observed at 18:47 (07:47 GMT) - the time when the attack began.
The Prime Minister's decision to launch a review into the security agencies comes as a response to the rapidly changing security environment in Australia. Albanese stated that the security agencies must be in the best position to respond to such threats.
The review is expected to examine the intelligence gathering and response procedures in place, with a focus on preventing similar attacks in the future. The investigation into the Bondi Beach attack is ongoing, with police working to identify the perpetrators and their motives.
This is a developing story, with further updates expected as more information becomes available.
