A RIGHT-WING teenager who wanted to carry out and livestream a mass murder at a mosque has been locked up for 10 years.

The 17-year-old boy had been “radicalised” by what he had viewed on social media channels, including TikTok, and spoke online about how white people were at “war” and that he would “die for my land”.

The boy, who initially had plans to carry out a terrorist attack at his school, planned the atrocity at the Inverclyde Muslim Centre, in Greenock, in December 2024.
