Teenager who planned terror attack in Sydney tells court he was radicalised online and used AI to strategise

The Guardian

A teenager who admitted to planning a terrorist attack in Sydney told the NSW supreme court he became fixated on the Sydney Opera House as a potential location for an act of violence. A teenager who admitted to planning a terrorist attack in Sydney told the NSW supreme court he became fixated on the Sydney Opera House as a potential location for an act of violence. A teenager who admitted to planning a terrorist attack in Sydney in 2024 has told the court he was radicalised online after first seeing extremist material on TikTok and used ChatGPT to form his plans. The 16-year-old, known under the pseudonym as RK due to his age, pleaded guilty to acts in preparation for, or planning, a terrorist act. In a sentencing ruling on Monday, he avoided jail time, with the New South Wales supreme court ordering him into a three-year community corrections order. RK had just turned 14 when the offending occurred in 2024.


Violence in northern Ethiopia pushing health system towards collapse: WHO

Al Jazeera

Fighting and drone strikes in northern Ethiopia are pushing the country's fragile health system towards collapse, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus reported in a statement released on Monday that the conflict between rebels from the northern Tigray region and the government in Addis Ababa had killed several civilians in recent days and strained medical facilities. At least 15 people, several of them children, died in a series of drone strikes that hit a camp for displaced civilians in Ethiopia's Amhara region on Friday, sources involved in a rescue operation told the Reuters news agency. Tedros, the world's highest-profile Tigrayan, confirmed that children were among those reported to be killed at the Jaari 2 displacement camp in Amhara. In Rama, in neighbouring Tigray, several people were killed while seeking food.


Strikes on Darfur market in Sudan killed more than 100, rights group says

Al Jazeera

Military drone strikes in southwestern Sudan's Darfur that killed more than 100 people - mostly women and children - earlier this week targeted a busy city market frequented by paramilitary fighters, witnesses said. Emergency Lawyers, a rights group tracking violence, put the toll from Monday's attacks at more than 100 dead and 113 wounded. The war between the RSF and the army, now in its fourth year, has created severe poverty, food shortages and the world's worst displacement crisis. A cigarette vendor told the Associated Press news agency on Wednesday that hundreds of RSF fighters gathered at the market on the evening of the attack. He said that he moved his stall between gatherings of the paramilitary fighters to sell cigarettes and that a drone struck around 8pm (18:00 GMT), killing dozens of fighters and women selling food.


Inside Meta's Efforts to Prevent School Shootings

The New Yorker

Inside Meta's Efforts to Prevent School Shootings Algorithmic social media, which has helped create the conditions for the spread of such violence, is reckoning with how it can be part of the solution. Larry Baimbridge spent thirty-one years with the Houston Police Department, including stints as a homicide detective and as commander of the team. In 2023, he took a job as chief of police for the Spring Branch Independent School District, most of which is within the city. The job was more low-key--no more shootouts with snipers--but it came with its own challenges. After the 2022 shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which left nineteen elementary-school students and two teachers dead, the state legislature had neglected to pass any meaningful restrictions on guns; instead, the state required that every school campus have an armed security officer.

Warning signs over threats to Australian politicians were rising before MP hit by car

BBC News

As increasingly frequent acts of violence against politicians have shocked the globe in recent years, Australia has watched on with a contradictory feeling: that attacks like that could not happen here, and that it was only a matter of time until they did. Australians will tell you this is a largely peaceful society with a comparatively civil public discourse. Violence targeting politicians has been rare, the bungled assassination of Labor leader Arthur Calwell in 1966 now a distant and fleeting memory. But MPs and public figures - backed by experts - have been warning of a volcano of threats against them as social cohesion cracks, polarisation intensifies and the tone of debate grows hotter. And on Monday, their worst fears appear to have been realised.
