14-year-old charged in alleged plot against London mosques

British police have announced that a suspect has been charged with “preparation of terrorist acts – linked to extreme right‑wing terrorism.” The charge, brought under the Terrorism Act 2000, follows a months‑long investigation by the Counter Terrorism Policing network that identified the individual’s involvement in planning activities deemed to support extremist ideology.

Authorities said the suspect is alleged to have coordinated with like‑minded individuals, gathered weapons and explosives, and prepared operational plans targeting specific locations. A court appearance is scheduled for later this month, where the prosecution will present the evidence gathered by detectives. Police emphasized that the case underscores ongoing efforts to monitor and disrupt extremist networks, and they confirmed that the investigation remains active as they continue to assess any further threats.
