The 14-year-old boy’s intent to murder charges came a day after the national terrorism threat level was raised from “possible” to “probable”.
The NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team has charged a teenage boy over a stabbing at the University of Sydney that led to the lockdown of parts of its Camperdown campus.
It is alleged the teenager, who was wearing camouflage gear at the time, stabbed Kurniawan in the neck from behind with a kitchen knife before fleeing on a bus. “Acts of violence can be almost spontaneous or purely reactive,” he said, warning that teens were increasingly getting caught up in extremism.“In the recent cases, the oldest perpetrator was 21 and the youngest was 14. Extremist ideologies, conspiracies, misinformation, are flourishing in the online ecosystem, and young Australians are particularly vulnerable.”
