Alleged teen terrorism conspirator, 15, who made threats to stab Jewish people to remain behind bars as his shattered mum leaves court in tears

An alleged teenage terrorism plotter who made “explicit threats” to stab Jewish or Assyrian people has been denied bail and is considered an “unacceptable risk” to the community.

The 15-year-old, who cannot be named, was charged on Friday with conspiracy to participate in an act in preparation or planning of an act of terrorism.

A court previously heard the boy claimed to be friends with the 16-year-old accused of stabbing Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel during a live-streamed sermon in April.

Magistrate James Viney refused the teenager’s bail on the grounds that no exceptional circumstances existed to secure his release.

“There is an unacceptable risk to the protection of the community,” he told Parramatta Children’s Court on Thursday.

The magistrate said this was of “utmost importance” and found the boy’s alleged explicit threats to stab Jewish or Assyrian people and a previous alleged attack “of serious concern.”

The teenager held his head up with his hand for much of the hearing as he watched from detention via video link as his parents sat in the courtroom.

The magistrate said he had ‘no doubt’ that the parents loved and supported their son, and said he had his phone confiscated after becoming concerned about his behaviour.

“They are genuinely shocked by the allegations he is facing,” he said.

After making his findings, the boy’s mother left the courtroom in tears.

The boy’s lawyer, Ahmed Dib, told reporters outside the court that the parents were devastated by the news.

The court previously heard that the boy had been involved in an encrypted chat group called Plans, where he spoke to co-conspirators who were planning an upcoming attack on Jewish or Assyrian people.

Prosecutor Rebekah Rodger said the boys were not just talking and knew people who had responded to threats.

The magistrate detailed messages the teenager allegedly sent between April 20 and 21.

“You don’t want to make any attack… what about the Jews, brother, and Palestine? …I’m so cut, I want to do it so bad,” the teen reportedly wrote in one message.

‘I really want to attack now because I have so much hatred for these kuffar (non-Muslims). It’s not funny, I want to do jihad now,” another message read.

In one conversation, the teen suggests, “Don’t try to kill, just stab.”

“It was clear from the messages that the young person wanted to do something catastrophic,” Viney told the court.

The magistrate also raised concerns about a previous incident in which the teenager was arrested after allegedly throwing a wooden plank at a worker in a bottle shop and was allegedly in possession of a knife at the time.

Mr Dib said his client had a history of behavioral problems, lacked self-confidence and had low self-esteem.

He said the teenager appeared macho in reports about carrying out an attack, but disputed that such a plan was in progress.

Two hand-drawn ISIS flags were found in the boy’s bedroom when police raided the family’s home in April, the court previously heard.

The case will return to court on June 21.
