The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will be sentenced on Tuesday after being found guilty of planning a terror attack. A teenage terrorist facing jail for plotting an attack claimed he was tipped off about a police raid by a member of his neo-Nazi network. The 17-year-old, who was a contributor to the extreme right-wing Fascist Forge online platform, wrote in his diary that a friend in the group had told him officers were going to search his home. He then began deleting files from his digital devices a month before he was arrested in County Durham. Counter-terror police said investigators were able to recover the material, and they found no further evidence of a tip off. The teenager, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was found guilty of planning a terror attack between October 2017 and March 2019 after a trial at Manchester Crown Court , where he faces sentence on Tuesday. He was also convicted of disseminating a terrorist publication, possessing an article for a purpose connected with terrorism and three counts of possessing a document or record containing information likely to be useful to a terrorist.
