Authorities in the Philippines are investigating whether the suspects in Australia's deadly Bondi Beach attack met with Muslim religious leaders in an area known for extremism during a month-long trip to the southern city of Davao.
Brigadier-General Leon Victor Rosete, the regional police chief in Davao, said that authorities have begun "backtracking operations" to reconstruct the movements of 24-year-old Naveed Akram and his 50-year-old father, Sajid Akram, during their stay in the Philippines.
