An Australian teenager allegedly discussed packing a kangaroo with explosives, painting it with an Islamic State symbol and setting it on police, a Melbourne court has heard.
Sevdet Ramadan Besim, 19, was committed to trial on Thursday after pleading not guilty to four terror charges.
Mr Besim was one of five teens arrested in police raids in April last year.
He is accused of planning the attack with a teenager, from Blackburn in the UK, who has been sentenced for his part in the Anzac day plot.
'Painted with IS symbol'
"I'd love to take out some cops," Mr Besim allegedly wrote.
He faces charges relating to searching internet sites, engaging in communications and creating a memo with the intention of planning a terrorist attack.
A fifth charge of conspiring to do an act in preparation or planning a terror act, which carries a life sentence, was withdrawn.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp quoted a document presented by prosecutors that summarised the alleged conversation about the kangaroo bomb.
