Naveed Akram, the suspect in the deadly Bondi Beach shooting targeting Australia's Jewish community, has been charged with 59 offences including 15 counts of murder and a terrorist act, with the attack being Australia's deadliest since 1996 and believed to be motivated by Islamic State ideology. The incident resulted in 15 deaths, including two rabbis, a Holocaust survivor, and a child, and injured dozens.
