Romania’s anti-organized crime directorate DIICOT held on Friday, June 22, a 15-years old young man for promoting extremist ideologies and for contacting terrorist organizations offering to convince and draw new followers. He also developed plans to attack important objectives and civilians, according to the prosecutors.

The young man, who is living in Bucharest, also trained himself on producing improvised explosive devices, according to the DIICOT press release.

Last year, a 17-year old Romanian man from Craiova was convicted to three years and four months in jail for jihadist propaganda. He had also trained for a terrorist attack and actively promoted the radical Islamic doctrine.
