SYDNEY, July 30 – Arrest warrants were issued Wednesday for two alleged Sydney terrorists who boasted of beheading “infidels” in Iraq and posted gruesome images of severed heads on Twitter, Xinhua news agency reported.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) said Sydney-based Khaled Sharrouf and Mohamed Elomar, who are reportedly fighting for Islamic State in Iraq, will be arrested and charged with terrorism offenses if they returned to Australia.
The AFP issued a statement confirming the men will be arrested on arrival in Australia should they seek to return.
“The warrants relate to alleged terrorism related activity,” the statement said. As these matters are ongoing and yet to be tested before a court, it would not be appropriate for the AFP to comment further,” the statement added.
