‘Neglect’: Fury over ISIS Brides After Bondi

ASIO disputes Four Corners' report on Bondi attack citing unreliable source, misidentification, and factual errors; warns of potential further action if unsubstantiated claims air.

  • ASIO issued a rare Sunday statement saying it holds `grave concerns` about an ABC's Four Corners investigation set for Monday night and warned of further action if unsubstantiated claims are broadcast.
  • Citing legal limits tied to the royal commission, ASIO noted it relied on an `unreliable and disgruntled` source who misidentified Naveed Akram and said its response was constrained to avoid prejudicing the royal commission and investigation.
  • Using an insider account, Four Corners shows `Marcus`, a former ASIO human source funded by the agency, infiltrated the network for six years, providing inside testimony.
  • The ABC is standing by the story and says it used extensive sources for comprehensive reporting, while ASIO claims Four Corners' report contains `significant errors of fact` and reflects detailed questions posed to the agency.
  • ASIO also pointed out that it did not know the perpetrators were planning anything and the royal commission must complete its first report by April.
