(Stuff) An Auckland man told a person on social media he wanted to kill “non-Muslims” and began planning a terror attack in New Zealand, Stuff can now report.
The 20-year-old appeared at the High Court at Auckland on Wednesday, where he admitted threatening to kill, two charges of distributing objectionable publications and six counts of possessing objectionable material.
The man was charged last September and initially appeared in the North Shore District Court, days after the LynnMall terror attack.
Stuff can now report the man, who was then 19, came to the attention of police as he chatted about Isis and shared videos depicting extreme violence.
