Court tells why teen was held

SEVDET Besim, the Hallam teenager charged in relation to an alleged Anzac Day terror plot, had been with Numan Haider the day he was killed last September, according to court documents.
Documents released by the Supreme Court revealed that Mr Besim came to police attention because of the amount of time he spent by Haider’s grave.
Haider was shot dead by police outside Endeavour Hills Police Station in September after stabbing two officers.
Police said Haider had been brandishing a black flag with white Arabic writing emblazoned on it at a Dandenong’s Palm Plaza in the days leading up to his death.
It is believed the Australian Federal Police were told that Haider “constituted an implied threat towards the Prime Minister of Australia“.
The claims about Mr Besim came to light after a suppression order on transcripts of conversations between the accused and a 14-year-old boy in England was lifted by Justice Peter Riordan.
Mr Besim and his co-accused, 18-year-old Harun Causevic, were among those arrested following pre-dawn raids throughout Casey on 18 April after a tip-off from British police.
Justice Riordan ruled on Wednesday 3 June that it was in the public interest to release reasons why a preventative detention order was used to hold Mr Causevic in custody.
Just 24 hours before Anzac Day, British police charged the UK teenager with trying to incite beheadings and attacks on Australian Anzac Day commemoration services.
