British police have charged a 14-year-old boy with a terrorism offence linked to extreme right-wing ideology over an alleged plan to attack two mosques in south London.
The boy was arrested last week over criminal damage to a car, but police searches found documents that led to a charge of ‘conduct in preparation for giving effect to an intention to conduct acts of terrorism’.
Police said they did not believe the case pointed to a wider threat, but added that they had offered support to the mosques.
