Photo: DPAA 16-year-old Syrian refugee was convicted in Germany Monday of planning a bomb attack on behalf of the Isis terror group and sentenced to two years' juvenile detention. The teenager, who was not identified by the court, was arrested 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 Isis 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 explosive device. 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 radicalised, as did a local mosque.
