The boy, 16, first downloaded his first bomb-making manual when he was 13, and later that year he joined an online forum called Fascist Forge. A Ukish court will hold a sentencing hearing on the boy on Feb. 8.

The court said he was the head of a British version of a neo-Nazi terrorist group that is now banned. Between 2018 and July 2019, he amassed a large collection of far-right ideological material and published views with racism, anti-gay and anti-Semitism on online platforms. He also spoke of "gassing" Jews, hanging homosexuals and wanting to "shoot at their processions."

Prosecutor Naomi Parsons said the boy lived with his grandmother, police searched his home, found a Nazi flag and racist slogan in his garden cottage, and found several manuals on making weapons and instructions on how to kill people on his phone and computer.

Parsons added, "Age was a shocking factor and his actions exposed his maturity beyond his actual age." ”

The boy was in touch with an Estonian boy who had formed a now-banned neo-Nazi group called the Feuerkrieg Division. They use encrypted messages to discuss their hatred of specific groups.

Subsequently, the defendant formed a British version of the Fire Fighters (FKD GB) organization and recruited local British members from online platforms, such as rugby teenager Paul Dunleavy, who was jailed last year for preparing to carry out terrorist attacks.

The Tribunal was informed that the organization wanted to wage a "white jihad" and commit genocide against non-white populations. Judge Deni Matthews said the defendant had a "very bad childhood" and that everything he did was to seek "approval" from others online.
