(Sky News) A 15-year-old schoolboy who converted to Islam was arrested with a kitchen knife in his rucksack as he prepared for an “imminent” attack on one of his teachers who made a joke about pork, a court has heard.
The schoolboy, who cannot be named, had allegedly previously planned an attack at the Isle of Wight music festival using a pickup truck and knife, but dropped the plan.
He discussed the new plan in chats on a social media forum for video gamers called Discord after setting up an account using an encrypted Proton email address.
Using the name TawidOverKufr — God over disbelief — he joined a group called Caliphate Revivalists, a reference to the area once controlled by Islamic State.
