SYDNEY, Dec 16 (Reuters) – Australian police said on Tuesday that the two alleged gunmen behind the mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach travelled to the Philippines last month, and that the reasons for their trip were under investigation.
Police said initial investigations suggested the gunmen could have been inspired by the ideologies of the Islamic State, adding they found two homemade Islamic State flags in a vehicle used by one of the men.
