Ginger Jihadist is Stupid, says Family

Ginger-haired Australian jihadist Abdullah Elmir, 17, has been condemned by his relatives over a chilling video in which he declares ISIS will not stop their murderous campaign ‘until the black flag is flying high in every single land’.

In a propaganda video for the terror group published on YouTube, the young white, Sydney born man calling himself Abu Khaled from Australia is flanked by other ISIS fighters.

Elmir reportedly told his mother he was ‘going fishing’ when he disappeared from his home in Bankstown, west Sydney, in June.

In the video, Abdullah Elmir made threats against Australia, America and Britain, warning the terrorists can’t be stopped.

It is believed to be the first time Prime Minister Tony Abbott has been explicitly mentioned by name in an Islamic State propaganda tape.

“To Obama, to Tony Abbott, I say this: These weapons that we have, these soldiers we will not stop fighting, we will not put down our weapons until we reach your lands”, he said.

 

 

Australia Joins Fight Against ISIS in Iraq

Australia became the latest nation to join the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS on Friday, as its Cabinet authorized airstrikes by Australian military jets in Iraq and the use of its special forces.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott, speaking at a joint press conference with defense chiefs, said ISIS had “effectively declared war on the world” and posed a threat to Australia and its people.

ISIS must be disrupted and degraded, he said, and “it is absolutely in Australia’s national interests that this mission go ahead.”

The Cabinet authorized the deployment of Australian Special Forces into Iraq to “advise and assist” Iraqi forces, Abbott said, subject to final legal approvals from Iraq. Australian aircraft already began flying support missions over Iraq this week.

Australia’s decision to join the military campaign came only hours after Turkey’s Parliament voted overwhelmingly to authorize military force against ISIS in both Iraq and Syria.
