Sydney Teen Denied Bail Over Alleged Terror Plot Targeting Jews

A 15-year-old in Sydney accused of planning a terror attack aimed at Jewish and Assyrian communities remains in custody after a court deemed him a significant risk.

The Sydney teenager, part of a group accused of plotting a terror attack, was denied bail due to the threat he poses to the community.
Magistrate James Viney cited encrypted messages where the teen expressed desires to attack Jewish and Assyrian individuals as a key reason for his decision.
Defense arguments highlighted the teen's history of behavioral issues and claimed his threats were more about bravado than actual intent.
The case has sparked a broader investigation, with several other teenagers arrested for related offenses including possession of extremist material.
The teen's next court appearance is scheduled for June 21, where his legal team plans to appeal the bail decision.
