17-year-old charged with plotting terror attack in Australia
A 17-year-old school dropout in Australia was on Monday charged with terrorism offences after police seized three homemade bombs at his home here, becoming the 23rd person to be charged in eight terror-related cases in the country since September. The teenager was arrested outside his home in the Melbourne suburb of Glenvale, when police carried out controlled detonations to destroy three explosive devises found in the house. “Victoria Police have been working with the Australian Federal Police and other security agencies dealing with an imminent threat to the community of Victoria,” said Robert Hill, Acting Deputy Commissioner. Attorney-General George Brandis said the boy was the 23rd person to be charged in eight counter-terrorism raids in cities like Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane since September when Australia’s terrorist threat alert was raised to the second highest level on a four-tier scale due to the unprecedented threat posed by the Islamic State movement.
