British 14-year-old, said inspired by Hitler, pleads not guilty to mosques attack plot

A 14-year-old British boy pleaded not guilty in London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court to charges of plotting a terrorist attack on two mosques in south London. Prosecutors allege the teenager was motivated by extreme right-wing ideology and had planned to stab people at the mosques, conducting online reconnaissance. Material seized from his bedroom, including a “manifesto,” indicated he was “inspired by Adolf Hitler, Brenton Tarrant and Anders Breivik.” The boy also denied a charge of racially aggravated criminal damage and remains in youth detention until his next court appearance on August 21.
