Teen Arrested for Threat Against Sydney Mosque

A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in Western Australia for allegedly making a violent online threat to a mosque in Sydney, referencing the Christchurch massacre. The threat, posted on the mosque's Instagram, mentioned a 'Christchurch 2.0' attack, causing significant distress, especially during Ramadan. Authorities, including NSW Police and WA's Joint Counter Terrorism team, are conducting a major investigation, although they assure there are no ongoing threats to the community. Both NSW Premier Chris Minns and WA Premier Roger Cook condemned the act, emphasizing zero tolerance towards Islamophobia and racist threats. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also supported the investigation, insisting those responsible face the full force of the law. The mosque's leadership has expressed profound concern, urging for vigilance and unity against bigotry.
