Brisbane teenager Max Belter is facing two terror-related charges following a joint operation between the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Queensland Police Service, and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).

Officers executed a search warrant at the 18-year-old’s home on Sept. 9,  and allege they found violent extremist material—a video and a document—linked to proscribed terrorist organisations on several electronic devices.
