(GB News) More and more youngsters are being radicalised online, with the head of UK Counter Terrorism Policing warning that their extremism is turning into “real threats of violence on our streets.”
Radicalised teenagers have increased five-fold in the past four years, said Matt Jukes, head of UK’s Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP).
Jukes said that an increasing number of youths were turning their extremism into active terror plots.
He said some teenagers were downloading manuals for printing 3D bomb-making equipment and firearms.
Teenagers could face being sent to prison for their online activities, such as encouraging and inciting others to carry [out] extremist acts, Jukes said.
