After the video livestreamed
on X last week, five teenagers have been arrested for counterterrorism over the
Bishop’s stabbing at a Sydney church last week.
Two teenagers, aged 17 and
14, have been charged with "possessing or controlling violent extremist
material obtained or accessed using a carriage service".
Another two, both aged 16, have been
charged with "conspiring to engage in any act in preparation for, or
planning, a terrorist act".
The fifth teenager, 17, has been charged
with "conspiring to engage in an act in preparation for, or planning, a
terrorist act and custody of a knife in a public place".
All five have been refused bail and are
expected to appear before a children's court later today (Thursday).
Had the video not been
shown, these teens would not have been found and arrested.
