this one. They say time heals all. But for Ahmed Al Ahmed, the wounds he sustained at the Bondi Beach terrorist attack are still with him. Till today, uh the healing is very slow. Despite multiple surgeries, he has permanent nerve damage and limited mobility in his left arm. Two bullets are still lodged in his shoulder. My arm is not going to come back normal. I don't think so. Pain has caused for me big damage physically, mentally. It's not easy.
The memory of the violence he witnessed still haunts his dreams. I'm still hearing the kids crying and the womans and everyone from there, you know, asking for help. Safe behind cover, unseen by the attackers, Ahmed leapt into action. With his right hand, Ahmed managed to put the attacker in a chokeold and with his left pried the shotgun away. start saying, you know, mother, stop. Leave. I give you two minutes. Leave. His maneuver worked, forcing the gunman to retreat before Ahmed himself was shot and the attack finally came to an end.
They are evils. They not human being. They not a human being. As Muslim, we wish peace for everyone. And thank you. Ahmed's life was put under an intense media spotlight as the hero of Bondi. But attention also shifted to his family where cracks had started to form. Ahmed's father accused him of assault and later dropped the charges while his brothers were arrested for allegedly threatening him. Abu he realized his mistake and he regret and I forgive him. I forgive everyone. For better or for worse, Ahmed's life will never be the same. Now he has a photo of you in his wallet.
It's hard time for everyone I know. But I wish peace and we have to be unity and stand to each other. Nabil al-Nashar, ABC News, Sydney.
