US EditionCzech authorities detain 5 teens over online radicalization by IS and charge 2 with terror plot
- Czech authorities detained five teenagers suspected of online radicalization by Islamic State and charged two with attempted arson at a Brno synagogue in January 2024.
- The arrests followed an international investigation starting last year involving police cooperation across Czechia, Austria, Slovakia, the UK, and Europol.
- Authorities discovered that the group was spreading hateful content targeting Jews, LGBTQ+ individuals, and minorities while also engaging in online efforts to enlist members to join Islamic State militants active in Syria.
- Michal Koudelka said the suspects, mostly under 18, radicalized rapidly online without prior personal ties and were fascinated by violence and hatred, calling this a "very dangerous trend."
- Police seized knives, axes, gas pistols, and military gear in seven raids, and the investigation remains ongoing with potential further charges.
