London police charge 14-year-old boy with terror plot targeting mosques

Thursday, 16 July 2026, 06:29 · 1 min read

A 14-year-old boy from south London has been charged with preparing a terrorist attack on two mosques in the Sutton area, the Metropolitan Police announced. The boy was initially arrested on 9 July for suspected criminal damage, but a search of his home uncovered documents linked to what officers described as "extreme right-wing terrorism." The case has alarmed authorities and Muslim communities alike, coming amid a broader pattern of anti-Muslim incidents across the UK, including suspected threats to an Islamic festival in Suffolk and attacks on mosques in multiple British cities.
