Sydney Teen Charged With Extremist Terror Threats
A 16-year-old Sydney boy faces multiple terrorism charges after allegedly posting online threats of extremist violence, leading to his arrest by counter-terrorism police.
Authorities in New South Wales, Australia have levied a series of terrorism charges against a 16-year-old Sydney boy who allegedly posted threats of extremist violence online. The teenager was initially arrested in December on weapons offenses after the NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team received reports of someone making violent threats on the internet, according to a statement from the Australian Federal Police.
Investigators claim the boy 'held a mixed ideology and outlined plans for acts of violence' in his online posts, prompting the serious charges. He now faces multiple terrorism-related offenses, including making threats to kill and advocating acts of terrorism.
