Syrian teen convicted in Germany for IS bomb plot
[IsraelTimes] Messages on his phone included ’concrete instructions’ for building bomb.

A 16-year-old Syrian refugee was convicted in Germany Monday of planning a kaboom on behalf of the Islamic State

 at an asylum shelter in Cologne in September and went on trial in February.

Police had said the suspect’s mobile phone showed he had been in touch with an IS contact abroad and expressed willingness to carry out a bombing.

Investigators found online chat messages on the phone that included "concrete instructions" for building an bomb.

However the court found that the plot was thwarted at a "very early stage." "At no time was the public specifically in danger," it said.

The teenager and his family were among the nearly 900,000 migrants colonists and refugees who arrived in Germany in 2015, a record influx that has fueled security concerns.

The suspect was brought to police attention after residents and employees at the refugee shelter where he was staying voiced concerns that he had been radicalized, as did a local mosque.

The court found that the "particular loneliness" of his housing situation at the shelter meant that he spent most of his time on his mobile phone, making him easy prey for jihadist propaganda online.
Ynet adds:
In its ruling Monday, the court accepted the prosecution's claim that the teen received bomb-making instructions from a person in Israel with ties to the Islamic State
