Teen accused of fatally stabbing 3 girls at U.K. dance class made ricin and had al Qaeda training manual, police say

The teenager accused in a stabbing rampage that killed three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in England has been charged with producing the deadly poison ricin and now faces a terror offense for possessing a jihadi training manual, police said Tuesday.

Axel Rudakubana, 18, who is charged with murdering three girls and stabbing 10 other people in July, produced the deadly poison ricin that was later found in his home, Merseyside Police said. Police also found he had a computer file with an Al-Qaida training manual titled: "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual."

The new charges against Rudakubana are for allegedly making a biological toxin, ricin, which violates a law prohibiting biological weapons in the U.K., and for "possessing information, namely a pdf file ... of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism," police said. The latter charge is barred under the terms of a U.K. terrorism law.
