A British teenage neo-Nazi who listed venues in his home city as potential terrorist targets has been jailed for six years and eight months, according to media reports on Tuesday.
The boy, who was 16 at the time of the offence and cannot be named, had drawn up his own manifesto naming schools, pubs and council buildings in Durham in North East England as potential sites to bomb.
The now 17-year-old wrote about an "inevitable race war" in his diary and his attack preparations included researching explosives and trying to obtain the dangerous chemical ammonium nitrate.
He also wrote of planning to conduct an arson spree targeting synagogues in the Durham area using Molotov cocktails, the BBC reported.
A jury had found him guilty of preparation of terrorist acts between October 2017 and March 2018.
He was sentenced to six years and eight months at Manchester Crown Court, the report said.
The boy was convicted of six terror offences, including preparing acts of terrorism, disseminating terrorist publications and possessing material for terrorist purposes, The Independent newspaper reported.
Judge David Stockdale told the boy: "These are offences of the utmost seriousness."
