Teen Nazi planned to livestream gas attack, police allege

A teenage boy allegedly plotted online with like-minded neo-Nazis to live stream a chemical attack, believing he was preparing Australia for a “nationalist and racial violence extremist” revolution. Investigators are now considering laying a terror charge, as court documents reveal how isolated young men are being radicalised on the internet. The 17-year-old’s arrest comes amid increased scrutiny on the neo-Nazi movement in Australia, after a group of 60 black-clad men, calling itself White Australia and formerly the National Socialist Network, held a rally outside NSW Parliament on Saturday. The Australian Federal Police’s counter terror squads, including ASIO, last week raided a home in the Canberra suburb of Downer. They were moving to disrupt what they now believe was a credible threat of terrorism posed by the teenager.
