Teen suspect in terror stab probe ‘radicalised’ before stabbing army priest as new propaganda & attack details emerge [Video]

A TEENAGER at the centre of a terrorism probe after repeatedly stabbing an Army chaplain is suspected of sharing Jihadi propaganda online.

Detectives are looking at whether the 16-year-old boy, who is Irish, became radicalised in recent months and suspect he may have spread material relating to al Qaeda and ISIS on social media.
