Teen’s path to terror averted

Teen’s path to terror averted
SHARE
The intelligence agency has reported a successful deradicalisation programme that helped a teenager who had been making threats to blow up places of worship within just one year.

In another case, a teenager engaging in violent rhetoric on a white supremacist social media channel was influenced by various factors such as neurodivergence, isolation, religious identity, and lack of a strong male figure in their life.

These case studies were shared by the SIS in collaboration with its Five Eyes intelligence partners, highlighting the increasing trend of young people being radicalised in new and unpredictable ways.

According to the joint report, minors are capable of posing a credible terrorist threat similar to adults, with the accessibility of extremist views online posing a major concern.

The agency emphasized the need for vigilance and urged the public to report any concerning behavior they come across. Despite the government’s decision to not implement a dedicated reporting line, existing channels are available for reporting suspicious activities.

In the case of the white supremacist teenager, the SIS intervened after receiving an alert and closely monitored the individual’s online activities. The agency provided support to the minor’s family, who took measures to restrict online access and enroll the teenager in a youth group.

While the SIS closed the case due to limited intent and capability, the agency took a different approach in the case of the teenager making threats to kill specific individuals. The teenager was charged and placed in a state home for minors, undergoing a disengagement programme to address underlying issues.

Despite facing challenges in engaging the family, the programme proved effective in helping the teenager transition out after spending over a year in the programme.

The report highlighted successful interventions in countering violent extremism, including case studies from the UK and Canada. These examples underscore the importance of proactive measures in preventing radicalization among young individuals.

Director-General of Security Andrew Hampton cautioned that lone wolf-type attacks by self-radicalized individuals remain a significant threat, emphasizing the need for collective efforts to address radicalization among youth.
