AUSTRALIA: An unnamed 16-year-old boy has been charged with terrorism offences after he stabbed two Christian clerics during a Sydney church service which was broadcast online.

Authorities said the stabbing was declared a terrorist act due to the teenager’s suspected religious motivation and because he travelled up to 90 minutes from his home to the Christ the Good Shepherd Church for the attack.
