Former Vic terror suspect to be tracked

A Melbourne teen and former terrorism suspect faces a year with a GPS tracking device after federal police sought a control order.

A teenage former terrorism suspect will be forced to wear a GPS tracking device for the next 12 months after the Australian Federal Police requested a control order be placed on him.

Harun Causevic, 18, spent 127 days in a maximum security prison charged with planning an alleged Anzac Day terror attack in Melbourne, but the terror charge was later dropped and he pleaded guilty to three weapons possession charges.

Last week, the AFP successfully applied to the Federal Circuit Court to place Causevic under an interim control.
