#1 An Nahar has some background on the lad:

The teenager of Turkish origin was found guilty of belonging to a "terrorist" organization and given an additional suspended jail sentence of 16 months by a court in his hometown of Sankt-Poelten.

According to the charge sheet, the teenager, who emigrated from Turkey in 2007, wanted to carry out the attack before traveling to join "holy war" in Syria alongside the Islamic State (IS) group.

His lawyer Rudolf Mayer said his client -- who he said grew up "without a father" and who turns 15 in the coming days -- had only been "playing with the idea" of making a bomb.

Placed in a special school for troubled children where "prospects for professional development are almost inexistent," the boy had "looked for recognition, to belong to something," Mayer told the court.

"Imagine the power of propaganda that says to young people who feel they are living an empty existence: 'You can do something good, and get money and women'," he said.

It was his own family who alerted authorities to his growing radicalization.

#3 No Father, + even iff he did Big Daddy as a Muslim may have too many additional wives to bothering talking to his kids or being a part of their life.
