Where did this young man learn about Islam? What is taught in his mosque? Someone knows? Does anyone care? Why is his mosque not investigated?
“Man planned to carry out terror attack in Auckland, inspired by earlier attack at shopping mall,” by Catrin Owen, Stuff, Nov 10, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An Auckland man told a person on social media that he wanted to kill “non-Muslims” and began planning a terror attack in New Zealand, reports Stuff.
The 20-year-old appeared in Auckland High Court on Wednesday, where he admitted to making death threats, two counts of distribution of objectionable publications and six counts of possession of objectionable material.
The man was charged last September and initially appeared in North Shore District Court, days after the LynnMall terror attack.
Stuff can now report that the man, then 19, came to the attention of police while speaking about Isis and sharing videos showing extreme violence.
He told a person on social media that if he couldn’t travel to Syria and support Isis, his plan B was to carry out an attack in Auckland, according to the summary of events.
The man discussed at length various options for the attack, including a knife attack, a vehicle attack or an attack with explosives.
He said the 2017 Manchester bomb attack was fully justified.
He believed that terrorist attacks against non-Muslims were justified and began to prepare an attack, in which he hoped to kill between 20 and 30 people.
The man also investigated around 80 locations around Auckland, which included religious institutions, shopping malls, cafes, restaurants and the airport.
He began putting together a kit that included knives and camouflage.
After the New Lynn terror attack on September 3, the defendant messaged the person on social media saying he was inspired and wanted to go ahead with the attack.
He took screenshots of Al-Qaeda propaganda literature, looked up instructions on how to make a bomb and how and what to use to stab people.
When police executed a search warrant in September 2021, they found his Google cloud account had hundreds of videos, including body camera footage of a terror attack in Germany, the Christchurch mosque attacker’s manifesto and other ISIS videos.
In another video, the accused spoke of his loyalty to the Islamic State and called for retaliation against the New Zealand government.
“The defender claims that he is ready for martyrdom and will commit a terrorist attack after having investigated further”….
