One of the terrorists who carried out the shooting attack at a Bondi Beach Hanukkah party was likely a Muslim man of Pakistani origin, a senior law enforcement official told ABC News.

The man's name is Naveed Akram, from Bonnyrigg, and his house had been raided.

Akram's driver's license was found at the scene, and showed him to be 24 years old (DOB 12 August 2001).
