The official revealed that ASIO suspected Naveed Akram six years ago after police succeeded in thwarting an ISIS terrorist attack plan.
Intelligence began investigating Naveed after the arrest of ISIS terrorist Isaak El Matari in July 2019 in Sydney.
The official said that Naveed had close ties to Matari, who was serving a seven-year prison sentence for leading an ISIS attack in Sydney.
Matari and a number of other men were part of an ISIS cell in Sydney and were close to Naveed, according to officials familiar with the information.
ASIO Director General Mike Burgess said that one of the shooters was known to the agency, but did not specify his identity.
“One of the people we know, but not from the perspective of an immediate threat, so we need to investigate what happened here,” Burgess told

The JCTT is a task force consisting of elements from ASIO, NSW Police, Australian Federal Police and NSW Crime Commission.
