Official: 150 Australians fighting in Syria, Iraq
http://english.alarabiya.net/en/New...Syria-Iraq.html
Around 150 Australians have fought with radical militants in Syria and Iraq, raising fears of a terrorist threat to Australia if the fighters return home, the foreign minister said on Thursday.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said she had canceled a number of passports on the advice of security agencies in a bid to reduce the security threat to Australia. She did not say whether the passports were canceled to prevent Australians leaving or returning.
“Our best estimate is that there about 150 Australians ... who have been or are still fighting with opposition groups in Syria and beyond,” Bishop told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
