Four teenagers plotted to buy guns and attack Jewish people days after a bishop was stabbing in a Sydney church, police are reported to have said.<\/p>\n

The boys, a 15-year-old, 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds allegedly used an encrypted messaging app called Signal to plan their attack.<\/p>\n

“I wanna die and I wanna kill… I’m just excited… Is your plan to get caught or die or escape?” a 17-year-old allegedly said in a group chat on 20 April.<\/p>\n

To which the 16-year-old allegedly responded: “We’re gonna be planning for a while… we prefer to escape, but whatever happens, it’s the qadr (predetermination) of Allah,” News Corp Australia newspapers reported.<\/p>\n

In a separate message exchange, the 15-year-old allegedly said: “I really want to target the yahood,” meaning Jewish people.<\/p>\n

Last week, five teenagers aged 14 to 17 were charged with a range of offences, including conspiring to engage in or planning a terrorist act.<\/p>\n

Police alleged they were all part of a network that included a 16-year-old who has been charged with a terrorist act<\/a><\/strong> after stabbing Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel<\/a><\/strong> during a service at the Assyrian Christ the Good Shepherd Church on 15 April.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the church attacker, one of the teenagers reportedly said: “I know the bloke who done it,” adding: “He’s my mate.”<\/p>\n

According to News Corp – citing a police fact sheet – two of the defendants charged last week discussed buying guns on 19 April, the same day the bishop’s alleged attacker was charged.<\/p>\n

Gun ownership is heavily restricted in Australia under tough national laws, but there is a black market for firearms in Sydney.<\/p>\n

New South Wales Police could not immediately confirm the accuracy of the newspaper reports or provide a copy of the police fact sheet allegedly referred to in Sydney Children’s Court.<\/p>\n

‘I wish you nothing but the best’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bishop Emmanuel gave his first sermon since the stabbing on Sunday, during which he wore an eyepatch to cover a knife wound.<\/p>\n

Applauded by the congregation, the 53-year-old said: “To the young man who did this act almost two weeks ago, I say to you, my dear, you are my son and you will always be my son.<\/p>\n

“I will always pray for you. I wish you nothing but the best.”<\/p>\n

The parents of the alleged attacker told the Australian Broadcasting Corp that he was violent and had suspected autism spectrum disorder, but denied he was a terrorist.<\/p>\n

They said they had been hiding for fear of retaliatory acts after riots broke out around the church within hours of the stabbing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
