Trial goes on for Welsh man who plotted ISIS attack on Justin Bieber concert

A British citizen living in Wales, only 17 years old, radicalized by ISIS via online sources of the terror group plotted what could've been an extremely deadly massacre at a Justin Bieber concert back in the summer in Cardiff city.

Officials have confirmed to multiple news agencies that the schoolboy's trial is still ongoing after he was arrested on June 30th in direct connection with the plot, proven with drastically legitimate evidence shown in the court room.

Police confirmed when they looked through the boy's room, they found a suicide note of which he pledges allegiance to ISIS, saying he attacked Cardiff to prove a point and also saying 'many more attacks' are coming. 'The Independent' news sources confirmed that within the courtroom, police confirmed the suicide note also had bullet points of which he says the attack (of which he hadn't even carried out yet) included striking citizens with a vehicle and stabbing citizens in the neck.

When Police asked for the boy's phone, the suspect noted to police his Instagram account password was 'TruckAttack'. The boy had, just the day before, done extensive amounts of searches on the Justin Bieber concert in Cardiff occurring shortly. Officials confirmed that the suspect's fingerprints matched those found on the letter.

While searching in relation to the Justin Bieber concert taken place in Cardiff, the court room confirmed he had also searched "Justin Bieber concert security". The suspect also searched other crowded regions of the city including Castle quarter, a shopping center, Central Library and the New Theater of Cardiff.

The suspect had also searched up "truck ploughs into crowd", once again suggesting he had intentions to ram a vehicle into a crowd. In his suicide note, he hinted that he hopes 'more' bomb attacks, gun attacks, vehicle attacks are carried out in the future of the UK. This does not confirm, but does hint, he had potential bombing intentions.

The threat on a Justin Bieber concert was even farther enhanced, according to police, after their search through his bedroom confirmed police officials had found a hammer and at least one knife in his backpack. Security was beefed at Justin's concert.

Threats on Justin Bieber's concert come not too long after a bombing in Manchester targeting Ariana Grande, another American pop star, and her concert killing 22 fans and injuring up to 60 or 80 other citizens. ISIS was responsible for the suicide bombing.
