Teen arrested in Australia for AWA support

Sydney - A 17-year-old student was arrested
after he allegedly became abusive to Australian
police trying to question him about comments
made on Facebook, local media reported on
Tuesday.
The comments were related to the case of a 15-
year-old schoolmate who killed an employee of
Sydney Police headquarters and then died in a
shoot-out with officers last week.
According to the Sydney Daily Telegraph, the 17-
year-old had written that he hoped police burned
in hell, and warned that another police station
would be targeted, signing off AWA - meaning
Arab With Attitude.
Police believe the shooter, identified as Muslim
immigrant Farhad Jabar, was acting on orders
from radicals who supplied him with the handgun
he used to kill accountant Curtis Cheng, 58,
outside the police station on Friday.
Officers questioned schoolmates and people who
were at a mosque he visited shortly before the
attack in western Sydney.
Students said Jabar sang ISIS propaganda songs
on the playground, which is near police
headquarters, the Australian newspaper reported.
