Dr Clarke Jones: Australian National University criminologist on the investigations into the Bondi shooters' trip to the Philippines

Questions remain about the significance of the Bondi's terrorists' recent trip to the Philippines. 

Sunday's terror attack at a Jewish celebration claimed 15 lives - and 20 people are still in hospital. 

The father and son gunmen spent much of November in a Philippines region known as a 'hotbed of Islamic extremism'.

But Australian National University criminologist Dr Clarke Jones says it's an interesting link. 

"When there was a connection to the recent terrorist attack in Bondi, I was, well, surprised there was some sort of link to the Philippines - but not surprised that terrorism is probably still active."
