A teen is on trial after prosecutors allege he searched for parts to build a bomb and targeted federal Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton. According to the accounts presented to the jury, the teenager was allegedly inspired by a US domestic terrorist referred to as the “Unabomber.” The prosecution also says he downloaded a video of the Christchurch massacre. The articles report that the jury hears evidence relating to the teenager’s conduct leading up to the alleged plot, including sourcing of bomb-making components and the choice of target. Both outlets describe the same core claims: that the alleged motivation included inspiration from a US extremist attacker and that violent extremist content was obtained online. The reports do not indicate the outcome of the case or whether the teenager has admitted any wrongdoing. The matter is being decided by the jury based on evidence presented in court.
