Minor girl accused in California mosque attack
A criminal indictment has been filed against a 17-year-old girl on charges of aiding and inciting a mass attack that resulted in three deaths inside a mosque in San Diego on May 18. She participated in live streaming and posting the attack. The assault, which targeted a mosque and a high school, was carried out by two attackers who shot at the victims and then committed suicide at the scene. They also had plans to attack a Jewish temple and another school. If convicted in North Carolina, the girl faces a life sentence without parole, while federal penalties are expected to range from 3 to 4 years. This attack comes amid a rise in hate crimes and extremism, with investigations indicating that the attackers and their collaborators express hatred toward different cultures and religions through encrypted platforms that support extremism.
