The parents of a 16yo boy accused of committing a terrorist attack in Sydney have spoken publicly about their son for the first time since he was charged with allegedly stabbing Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel. The couple hasn’t been named and remain in hiding over fears of retribution. They say their son has serious anger management issues, longstanding mental health concerns and suspected autism spectrum disorder, but insist he isn’t a terrorist. In his first sermon since the attack, the Bishop told his followers he’d lost an eye in the incident. Several other teens arrested in raids last week allegedly formed part of a terror cell with the 16yo, and according to police, text messages have revealed the group wanted to target Jews, were ready to “die” for their cause, and called themselves “soldiers of Allah”. Police also allege the teens planned to buy guns and store them in abandoned homes in preparation for an attack.
