Australian Teen Planned to Pack Kangaroo with Explosives in ISIS Plot

A teen in Australia was arrested for planning to let a kangaroo loose with explosives on a Australian holiday, according to police.

Sevdet Besim, a 19 year-old from Australia is accused of plotting a terror attack involving a kangaroo painted with the ISIS symbol, packing it with explosives and then letting the animal loose on a holiday. The attack was allegedly planned for Anzac Day, an annual public commemoration of Australia's war dead.

The teenager is denying the charges of planning the terror attacks, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. He is also facing charges of planning to run over and behead a police officer on Anzac Day.

Prosecution presented evidence of a conversation between Besim and a teenager overseas where they had "a general discussion around animals and wildlife in Australia including a suggestion that a kangaroo could be packed with C4 explosive, painted with the [ISIS] symbol and set loose on police officers."

Besim will be facing the Australian Victorian Supreme Court on February 3rd.
