Australian recruiter IS slain in Iraq

sydney - A US airstrike in Iraq has cost the lives of an Australian member of terrorist organization Islamic State (IS). The man, Neil Prakash, was suspected of recruiting jihad fighters in Australia. He called IS-sympathizers under Australian law also to commit attacks in that country and in the United States.

,, His death is a very, very positive development in the war against Daesch and the war on terror, '' said Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull Thursday by Sky News. Daesch is another name for IS.

Australian authorities estimate that 110 people from their country have joined IS. Prakash was born in Melbourne. His family is from Fiji and Cambodia.
