FBI Tip Leads to Arrest of 19-Year-Old Melbourne Teen Planning Mass Attacks and Poisoning Water Supply
Oct 5, 2024, 12:31 AM
Australian authorities have arrested a 19-year-old man in Melbourne following an FBI tip-off about an alleged terror plot. The teen had allegedly planned mass shootings and bombings, including a shooting spree at his former high school, blowing up a university, derailing a train, and poisoning the state's water supply. Counter-terrorism police raided his home and discovered weapons, homemade guns, ammunition, explosive chemicals, tactical gear, and handwritten attack plans targeting his high school and other locations. The FBI had notified Victoria Police, leading to the arrest. The accused bought ammunition, explosive chemicals, and parts to make guns for his alleged attacks in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs. He has not been named due to legal reasons and has appeared in court.
