He led a neo-Nazi group linked to bomb plots. He was 13.

HELSINKI, Finland (AP) He called himself Commander online. He was a leader of an international neo-Nazi group linked to plots to attack a Las Vegas synagogue and detonate a car bomb at a major U.S. news network.
He was 13 years old.
The boy who led Feuerkrieg Division lived in Estonia and apparently cut ties with the group after authorities in that tiny Baltic state confronted him earlier this year, according to police and an Estonian newspaper report.
Harrys Puusepp, spokesman for the Estonian Internal Security Service, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the police agency intervened in early January because of a suspicion of danger and suspended this persons activities in Feuerkrieg Division.
As the case dealt with a child under the age of 14, this person cannot be prosecuted under the criminal law and instead other legal methods must be used to eliminate the risk. Cooperation between several authorities, and especially parents, is important to steer a child away from violent extremism, said Puusepp, who didnt specify the childs age or elaborate on the case.
