Tiroteo y masacre en Australia: encontraron banderas de ISIS en uno de los autos de los atacantes

El primer ministro australiano, Anthony Albanese, declaró que el padre e hijo que dispararon contra una multitud que celebraba la festividad judía de Janucá en una popular playa de Sídney actuaron motivados “por la ideología” del grupo yihadista Estado Islámico (EI).
El ataque ocurrió el domingo por la tarde en Bondi Beach y dejó un saldo de 15 muertos y más de 40 heridos, en uno de los episodios más sangrientos de la historia reciente de Australia. Los atacantes fueron identificados como Sajid Akram y su hijo Naveed.

“Al parecer, esto estuvo motivado por la ideología del Estado Islámico”, declaró Albanese a la cadena ABC luego de que se encontraran “dos banderas artesanales» del grupo terrorista en su auto junto a artefactos explosivos improvisados, según informó el comisario de policía de Nueva Gales del Sur, Mal Lanyon. Los atacantes eran padre e hijo. (Foto: gentileza ABC).
“Con el auge del ISIS hace ya más de una década, el mundo ha estado lidiando con el extremismo y esta ideología de odio”, agregó Albanese,
Un ataque planificado y señales de alerta previas
La policía calificó el hecho como un acto “terrorista” impulsado por el antisemitismo, aunque hasta ahora se habían dado pocos detalles sobre las motivaciones profundas de los agresores.
Las autoridades australianas enfrentan crecientes cuestionamientos sobre si se podría haber hecho más para evitar la masacre. Albanese reconoció que Naveed Akram, un albañil desempleado de 24 años, ya había llamado la atención de la agencia de inteligencia en 2019, pero no se lo consideró una amenaza inminente.

La policía sigue reconstruyendo los movimientos de los atacantes en los días previos al tiroteo. Una de las claves es un viaje que ambos realizaron a Filipinas en noviembre, donde, según el departamento migratorio de ese país, el padre se identificó como ciudadano indio y el hijo como australiano.
“Las razones por las que fueron a Filipinas, el propósito de ese viaje y los lugares que visitaron están siendo investigados en este momento”, explicó Lanyon. Según revelaron fuentes de seguridad al medio australiano ABC, habrían recibido “entrenamiento de estilo militar” en ese país.
El minuto a minuto del horror en Bondi Beach
El domingo, Naveed Akram le dijo a su madre que se iba a pescar fuera de la ciudad. Sin embargo, las autoridades creen que se encerró en un departamento alquilado junto a su padre para planear el ataque.
Con armas de caño largo, ambos dispararon durante 10 minutos contra la multitud. La policía abatió a Sajid Akram, de 50 años, mientras que su hijo quedó gravemente herido y permanece en coma bajo custodia policial.
Entre las víctimas fatales hay una nena de 10 años, un sobreviviente del Holocausto y un rabino local. Otras 42 personas fueron trasladadas de urgencia al hospital con heridas de bala y otras lesiones.
Repercusiones y reclamos tras la masacre
El ataque reavivó el debate sobre la seguridad y la lucha contra el antisemitismo en Australia. El presidente de la Asociación Judía Australiana, Robert Gregory, cuestionó al gobierno por “no haber tomado las medidas adecuadas para proteger a la comunidad judía”.
El primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, también se pronunció y afirmó que la decisión de Australia de reconocer el Estado de Palestina “echó leña al fuego del antisemitismo”.

En respuesta, las autoridades australianas acordaron endurecer las leyes que permitieron a Sajid Akram poseer seis armas. Los tiroteos masivos son poco frecuentes en el país desde la masacre de Port Arthur en 1996, que llevó a una de las campañas más estrictas del mundo contra las armas.
Solidaridad y duelo en la comunidad
En medio del dolor, la sociedad australiana mostró su solidaridad: más de 7000 personas donaron sangre para los heridos, según la Cruz Roja.
Además, un memorial improvisado con flores junto a la playa de Bondi se llenó de gente el lunes por la noche, cuando familiares y vecinos se reunieron para rendir homenaje a las víctimas y conmemorar el segundo día del Janucá.

‘Credible intelligence’ reveals North Korea’s successor to Kim Jong Un, South Korea says

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) thinks that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s daughter has been lined up to be her father’s eventual successor, lawmakers noted on Monday, according to Reuters.
The NIS indicated to lawmakers that its analysis stems from what it characterized as «credible intelligence» that it had gathered, Reuters reported, citing briefings by ruling and opposition party members following a closed-door parliamentary meeting.
Video footage posted last month showed Kim and his daughter on a tank.

The South Korean agency indicated that the scene of the girl driving a tank was meant to emphasize her supposed military aptitude and counter doubts concerning a female successor, lawmakers noted, according to the outlet.
North Korean state-run media KCNA published photos of the North Korean leader and his daughter with a tank last month, following prior images of the girl utilizing firearms, Reuters reported.
The daughter is thought to be about 13 years old and named Ju Ae.

The outlet reported that ruling Democratic Party lawmaker Park Sun-won indicated that the scenes are meant to pay «homage» to the North Korean leader’s military appearances years ago when he was being set up to succeed his father as regime leader.
Korea Institute for National Unification analyst Hong Min said the tank scene is not enough to determine that she has been established as her father’s successor, pointing out that she appeared with her father rather than independently, unlike her father’s independent military appearances as he was being groomed to take the helm.

Newsom’s California rail project now expected to cost $126B, official admits, with still no tracks laid

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
California’s delayed, over-budget high-speed train from Los Angeles to San Francisco is running fast in only one direction: Rising costs to even get rolling, which are now estimated to be $126 billion.
«Today, we estimate with the right optimization just over $125 billion,» California High Speed Rail Authority board member Anthony Williams told CBS’s «60 Minutes» on Sunday. «I think $126 billion is the current estimate for that.»
That is nearly four times the $33 billion price tag presented to voters in 2008, making the long-delayed project a black eye for Democratic-run California, derided as the latest political example of «waste» in deep-blue America and a «train to nowhere.»
«We’re now in 2026: There are no trains; there’s no track laid; it was a complete bait and switch,» Rep. Vince Fong, R-Calif., told «60 Minutes,» saying the project «needs to stop.»

«The California high-speed rail nightmare is the probably quintessential example of government waste and mismanagement.»
California’s long-troubled high-speed rail project is facing renewed scrutiny after state Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin acknowledged that many of its critics have a point.
«There were mistakes made,» Omishakin told CBS. «Some of the criticisms on this project, I think, are very fair.»
TRUMP ADMIN UNCOVERS ‘STAGGERING’ $8.6 BILLION IN SUSPECTED CALIFORNIA SMALL BUSINESS FRAUD
«I don’t think the voters fully understood, and neither did we in the public sector, what it was going to take to actually get this project delivered,» Omishakin added.
Taking aim at California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, President Donald Trump called California’s project «the worst cost overrun, I’ve ever seen,» a statement he has in the past reserved for Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell’s Federal Reserve Building in Washington, D.C.
«This administration is working to usher in a Golden Age of Transportation,» Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told CBS in a statement. «That vision includes high speed rail and we’re exploring opportunities to efficiently build that infrastructure in America.
NEWSOM’S FAILED LEADERSHIP HAS LET CALIFORNIA BECOME A LAND OF FRAUD AND SCAMS
«What this administration won’t stand for is boondoggle projects like Newsom’s Train to Nowhere that wasted billions in taxpayer dollars yet delivered nothing to the American people,» Duffy said. «Under President Trump, America is building again. We defunded Newsom’s disaster and created the first Trump Infrastructure Dividend. Those dollars will now actually fund critical projects that enhance safety on rail networks across America.»
Newsom himself cast doubt on the full San Francisco-to-Los Angeles plan in 2019, and the project now faces a funding gap of roughly $90 billion.
«For $10 billion, Elon Musk put 300 rockets in orbit; for $11 billion, the state of California has built 1,600 feet of elevated rail with no rail,» Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar said in 2024.
State officials say they remain confident more money can be found to dump into the project, but for now California’s high-speed rail stands as a costly symbol of ambition, delay and deep public skepticism.

«The ultimate 494 miles of building this out without the federal government’s help will be challenging: There’s no doubt about that,» Omishakin said.
Nearly two decades since the start of the project, no track has been laid, and the only major visible progress is on a Central Valley segment between Bakersfield and Merced, according to the report.
The project’s earliest projected opening is now 2033, far later than originally promised. Critics, including Bakersfield’s Fong, a member of the House Transportation Committee.
CALIFORNIA IS BROKE, BUT IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR THE REST OF US
«The business plan that was put out in 2008 was very theoretical,» Fong said. «You know, ‘This is what we think is gonna happen.’
«And it became very clear that they didn’t have the specifics worked out.»
Fong has sought oversight and accountability on the waste, including 597 change orders that have cost more than $2.3 billion alone as of November 2025, which is nearly 7% of the initial $33 billion project estimate.

«Taxpayers deserve full transparency and accountability,» Fong wrote in a statement in February. «The high-speed rail nightmare is a glaring example of structural mismanagement.
«Reckless, repeated contract amendments have squandered resources and precious tax dollars. Hardworking California taxpayers cannot afford to let this continue. This project should be canceled before even more money and time are wasted.»
