How he urged accomplice to behead a policeman
SHOCKING evidence of how the Blackburn schoolboy incited an Australian teenager to behead a policeman in Melbourne can be revealed today.
Extracts of conversations the pair had on a secure encrypted app are littered with slang, abbreviated text and spelling errors but give a chilling insight into the mind of Britain’s youngest convicted Islamic State terrorist.
During most of the messages, the boy was encouraging Sevdet Besim, 18, to attack an officer on Anzac Day. He suggested videotaping the attack and sending it to an IS recruiter.
He wrote: ‘You are a lone wolf, a wolf that begs Allah for forgiveness a wolf that doesn’t fear blame of the blamers. I’m [sic] I right?’ Besim allegedly replied: ‘Pretty much.’ He told Besim: ‘Im gonna present to you 3 options: knife attack on a police etc; car op on police; gun attack on police’, adding: ‘Police is our target akhi [brother].’
He then told him to get a ‘machetes’ and added: ‘Your [sic] going to sharpen as hard as u can. Then run a police over and decapitate.’
Focusing his argument, the boy gave specific instructions, adding: ‘What is best to do: run cop shank [stab] neck then when all them gun police show up you go and try to attack them, don’t look back expect a bullet inside you…’
The boy also wanted Besim to make a suicide video, instructing him: ‘ Akhi [brother] I will need an official vid off you before the attack.
‘I will tell you what to talk about: bayah [swear allegiance], motive for attack, those who stayed behind etc.’
The boy instructed Besim to ‘start dress- ing like a Kuffar’, and asked if he was ‘willing for a bullet to go through you’.
The Blackburn schoolboy also suggested that, before the main plan, Besim attack somebody in their own house and behead them: ‘I suggest you break into somones [sic] house and get your first taste of beheading.’
Besim replies: ‘That’s a little risky dnt u think.’
The boy offered: ‘Not unless its few hours before op. Im talkin a proper lonely person.’
When weapons were discussed, Besim sent the boy a picture of a knife, who seemed to be very impressed with the picture and continued to encourage Besim by saying: ‘Handle is perfect for tearing through throat.
‘Btw don’t underestimate de-capitation bro its hard. U gotta be a lion especially that ur doin it in public.’
