AN Islamic State terrorist taught a Melbourne teenager how to make deadly bombs at home and urged him to plot an attack on the city.

The Herald Sun revealed British computer hacker and terror plotter Junaid Hussain showed the 17-year-old how to make a pressure cooker bomb by grinding 1000 matchsticks.

Hussain allegedly told another extremist he helped the boy organise an attack on Melbourne.

In an Australian Federal Police brief it was revealed Hussain told the extremist he was working with a brother in Melbourne, who he called Abu Yahya.

Authorities allege the 17-year-old teen was in secret contact with terrorist sympathisers and extremists under the pseudonym Abu Yahya.

The Herald Sun reported the brief said Hussain helped the boy plan the attack, but the teen got caught because he talked too much on Facebook.

“He made mistakes. He grated 1000 match sticks Subhan Allah (glory to God). He was so determined,” Hussain said.

The teen had pleaded guilty to one charge of preparing for, or planning, a terror attack.

Hussain, the computer hacker turned terror plotter, had been jailed in 2012 after hacking the computer of former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair.

The hacker splashed personal information, including names, addresses and phone numbers of Mr Blair’s contacts, all over the internet.

His national insurance number was also exposed online.

When released from prison, Hussain fled the UK for Syria in 2013.

He was considered the most prominent UK citizen to have joined Islamic State, after “Jihad John”, the man who captured and beheaded westerners.

Hussain was part of a group of Islamist computer hackers called Cyber Caliphate, known for defacing French websites during the Paris attacks.

The hacker was wanted by US officials and he was reportedly at the top of the Pentagon’s “kill list”. But in August, Hussain, 21, was killed in a drone strike in Syria and was specifically targeted by Americans.

Hussain and his wife Sally Jones were dubbed “Mr and Mrs Terror” for their social media presence.

Details of Islamic State’s plots are still being splashed through newspapers and secrets behind the organisation continue to be leaked.

In a new revelation, the terror organisation group may also have stolen “tens of thousands” of blank passports, that could be used to smuggle its fighters into Europe as refugees, a German newspaper reported Sunday.

Western intelligence sources say that Islamic State could have got their hands on the stolen documents in parts of Syria, Iraq and Libya.

It is believed the passports would be given to potential attackers and it was reported Islamic State was selling the blank documents on the black market for $1630 each.

The head of EU border agency Frontex, Fabrice Leggeri, told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper the influx of people travelling to Europe unchecked was a security risk.

He said in countries such as Syria, where conditions are chaotic, it meant nobody could guarantee travel documents were real or issued by an official authority.

The Daily Mail has also reported Islamic State members are using encrypted messaging app Telegram to recruit people to the organisation.

Omar Hussein is allegedly posting pictures of kittens with grenades and bomb belts, trees in parks and windows of toy shops to the app.

Among the pictures are Hussein’s blog posts, which give people advice on how to join the terror organisation, including the names of female recruiters.
