Singapore teen held for Christchurch-inspired mosque attack plot

A 16-year-old boy has been detained in Singapore for allegedly plotting to kill Muslims in two mosques on the Christchurch attacks anniversary.

Influenced by Christchurch killer Brenton Tarrant, the teenager had allegedly planned to knife his victims and livestream the attack.

He is the youngest to be detained under the Internal Security Act, which allows for detention without trial.

The Christchurch attack was the worst mass shooting in New Zealand's history.

Some 51 people died when they were gunned down by Tarrant - who has now been sentenced to life imprisonment without parole - at two mosques on 15 March 2019.
