A 16-year-old schoolgirl was set to be charged
Tuesday with raising money to support the Islamic
State group, Australian police said, warning of a
"trend of teenage children" involved in such
activities. The girl and a 20-year-old man were
arrested in the western Sydney suburb of Guildford in the morning,
New South Wales state police Deputy Commissioner
Catherine Burn said. "We will be alleging that they
were involved in
obtaining money to send offshore to assist the
Islamic State in its activities," Burn told reporters in Sydney.
"The 16-year-old girl is not somebody who is well-
known to us, however it is disturbing that we are
continuing to see a trend of teenage children
involved
in activities that they should really not be involved in at all." The 20-year-old, named by local media as
Milad Atai,
faced court on one charge of financing terrorism on
Tuesday, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation
reported. He remains in custody and was due to
appear in another Sydney court on Wednesday, the ABC added. The charge of getting funds to, from or
for a terrorist
organisation, which the Australian Federal Police
said
the teenage girl was also expected to face, carries a
maximum penalty on conviction of 25 years in prison. Burn would not say how much they allegedly
collected, but added that a "number of people in this
country" were raising money to finance terrorism
and
then send it offshore. Federal Police Deputy
Commissioner for national security, Michael Phelan, said the alleged fundraising
was not linked to any plot of an attack in Australia
and
there was no immediate threat to the community.
Canberra has been increasingly concerned about
home-grown extremism and raised the terror threat alert level to high in September 2014. Authorities
have conducted a series of counter-
terrorism raids in several cities, while the
government
has passed new national security laws. Since
September 2014, 14 people have been charged under Appleby, a rolling operation investigating
people suspected of being involved in domestic acts
of
terrorism, Australians fighting in Syria and Iraq and
the funding of terrorist organisations, Phelan said.
Burn said police were working to identify "all those things that might have been involved in her getting
to
this position". In December, five people including a
15-year-old boy
were charged in Sydney over a terror plot targeting
a government building. And in October a civilian police
employee was shot
dead by a boy, also 15, outside police headquarters
in
western Sydney. The teenager was killed in an
exchange of gunfire.
