A 16-year-old boy in Sydney has been charged with committing a terrorist act after allegedly stabbing a church bishop. The incident has sparked a widespread investigation, with police scrutinizing over 52,000 photos and 7,500 videos from the teen’s phone.
The court has been informed that the teen is also facing additional charges of causing grievous bodily harm and wounding a person with intent to cause harm. The attack has led to a broader crackdown on terrorism-related activities among youth in the area.
In a related development, six other teenagers have been charged with terrorism-related offenses. The stabbing incident has also triggered a riot, resulting in 29 individuals being charged for their involvement.
Police are currently seeking public assistance to identify seven individuals connected to the ongoing investigation, as they continue to piece together the full scope of the events and any potential networks involved.
