In another, the court heard, he allegedly said: “I really want to do an attack too, I have so much hatred for kuffar its not funny, I want to do jihad now.” The boy’s defence tendered documents in court, including report cards, a psychological report and an affidavit from his mother that painted a picture of a teenager with behavioural issues.
Police alleged in court that the group chat featured co-conspirators who were planning an upcoming attack, however, the defence refuted that any such plan was in motion. The teenager was the youngest of the five juveniles arrested and charged with conspiracy to engage in any act in preparation for, or planning, a terrorist act. As part of the search warrants executed last week, a further two teenagers have been charged with possessing or controlling violent extremist material.
