A 14-year-old British boy appeared in court Friday charged with inciting a man in Australia to behead someone and carry out a terror attack on a holiday parade in Melbourne, Reuters reported. The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested in Blackburn, northern England, after police found messages he had exchanged with a man in Australia on his mobile phone regarding the alleged plot. This led to a police operation in Melbourne and the arrests of five teenagers who Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said were planning an ISIS-inspired attack on a World War I commemorative event this week.
