St Albans terror arrest: Teen in court on terror offence charges

From the St Alban’s Review and the BBC

A 15-year-old accused of sharing bomb-making instructions on social media has appeared in court charged with terrorism offences. Police attended an address in the district on Monday, March 7, before arresting and detaining a teenager under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

He is alleged to have twice posted a propaganda video, made by the so-called Islamic State group, in chats on the Discord platform in February.

The charges relate to a publication which includes instructions on how to make the explosive TATP, also known as Mother of Satan, and an improvised explosive device.

The boy, who was accompanied by his mother, was not asked to enter any pleas and spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address. He was remanded into secure accommodation ahead of his next appearance at the same court on 21 March.

St Albans is a lovely cathedral city, a Roman city once called Verulanium. It’s expensive to live with some desirable select districts.  Not a poor ghetto boy, oppressed by the empire.
