Life imprisonment for 15-year-old British boy who plotted Anzac Day massacre in Melbourne

#ISIS #Melbourne #AnzacDay #jihadists It may sound like fiction but it is a fact that a boy sitting in Blackburn had planned a terror attack in far off Melbourne on Anzac Day parade – it was to have been a massacre. The 15-year-old British boy had nearly succeeded but was apprehended in time.
He had been radicalized by ISIS and has now been sentenced to life in jail. While passing judgment, Judge John Saunders has told Manchester Crown Court that the youth remained a significant danger to the community.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 2 October 2015.

Judge Saunders has also indicated that some progress had been made to de-radicalize the youth who now becomes the youngest British to be sentenced for a terrorist related offence.
That macabre plot would send a shiver down one’s spine – it included decapitating a police officer, driving into a crowd with a car with an ISIS flag on the bonnet, shooting other police that would arrive on the scene and practicing decapitating a loner in the days leading up to the event.
It seems he would go to school and be turned away since he would not hand his mobile phone over. Then, he would spend the rest of his day sitting by a dam and communicate with jihadists across the world before going home and pretending he had been at school all day.

14-year-old boy from Blackburn arrested for plotting ANZAC day terror attack in Melbourne

#ISIS #AnzacDay #Melbourne #Lancashire #Blackburn It was an ISIS-inspired terror plot in which a 14-year-old boy of Lancashire was involved. The plot was to hack down policemen in Melbourne on ANZAC Day to commemorate the First World War as reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 20 April 2015.

As per information, the teenager from Blackburn, Lancashire, had reportedly been in contact with people from Australia who were planning to use knives and swords to hack officers to death in Melbourne on Anzac Day.
It has been revealed by Greater Manchester Police that the 14-year-old was first arrested on April 2 after police intercepted communications between him and an Australian man – the communication was related to a planned terrorist attack. The boy was subsequently re-arrested on suspicion of being connected in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. He is currently in custody of the police and is under interrogation.
When the police of Greater Manchester came to know about the alleged plot, they tipped off Australian authorities who swooped on the terror suspects and arrested five men.
The police are now augmenting security for a string of Anzac Day events that are scheduled in London – these include services at the Cenotaph and Westminster Abbey which would be attended by the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince William.
