An Australian teenager participated in a deradicalization program before writing he was 'going on the path of jihad,' stabbing a man and being shot and killed himself by police.
A 16-year-old boy who was shot dead by police after stabbing a man in the Australian west coast city of Perth had been in a deradicalization program but had no links to an alleged network of teen extremists in the east coast city of Sydney, authorities said. The boy had participated in the federally funded Countering Violent Extremism program for two years but had no criminal record, Western Australia Police Minister Paul Papalia said Monday.
Police alleged all seven were part of a network that 'adhered to a religiously motivated, violent extremist ideology.' Some Muslim leaders have criticized Australian police for declaring the church stabbing a terrorist act but not a rampage two days earlier in a Sydney shopping mall in which six people were killed and a dozen wounded. The 40-year-old attacker, who was shot dead by police, had a history of schizophrenia and most of the victims he targeted were women.
