Bondi Gunmen Threw Bombs at Start of Attack
(Reuters) Renju Jose - Australian police say the Bondi Beach attackers threw homemade pipe and tennis ball bombs at the Jewish Hanukkah celebration before shooting, but they failed to detonate, according to court documents released on Monday. The two gunmen had planned the attack for several months and visited the Bondi beachside park for reconnaissance two days prior. Pictures included in the police report showed the father and son training with firearms in an isolated part of New South Wales, the state which includes Sydney. Police found a video taken in October on one of their mobile phones showing them sitting in front of an Islamic State flag and making statements in English about their reasons for the attack. 15 people were killed in the Dec. 14 attack; 13 remain in hospital, including 4 in critical condition.
