(AAP) A used car salesman who became radicalised by ISIS so quickly he was prepared to fight and die in Kashmir for the terror group has left a judge concerned whether the Melbourne father is still a risk.
Khaled Temssah, 32, has pleaded guilty to preparing to travel overseas to engage in hostile activity after he paid undercover police $880 for what he thought was an AK-47 and transport costs in June 2019.
Judge Justin Hannebery said while Temssah had disavowed his previously held extremist beliefs, he remained concerned about the speed in which they were developed.
“He was prepared to give his life within a period of months after the radicalisation started,” Judge Hannebery told a pre-sentence hearing at the Victorian County Court on Monday.
