A 16-YEAR-OLD girl has been charged
with two terror offences in northern England in a case linked to a
15-year-old boy accused of inciting a man to commit a terror attack at
an Anzac event in Melbourne.
THE teenage girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged by counter-terrorism police after a warrant was executed at a house in Manchester on April 3.
She is accused of two offences under the UK's Terrorism Act 2000 and will appear before Westminster Magistrates Court in London on July 22. Police were led to the girl after investigating a teenage boy from Blackburn in Lancashire, who was held on April 2 in connection with a terrorist plot in Australia, after examination of a number of electronic devices. British counter-terrorism officers said they had uncovered communications between the UK and Australia representing a "credible terrorist threat". Police in Melbourne arrested five suspects in what they said was an operation to foil an Islamic State-inspired plot to attack an Anzac Day event. The girl from Manchester has been charged with collecting or making a record of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing for an act of terrorism or possessing a document or record containing information of that kind. The 15-year-old boy from Blackburn has appeared at the Old Bailey in London charged with inciting a terror attack in Melbourne. His four-week trial is scheduled to begin on August 17 in Manchester.
