Australian police have obtained arrest warrants for two Australians who are fighting with the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria after one posted photographs of the other posing with severed heads of Syrian soldiers.
Australian Federal Police said in a statement on Tuesday that they obtained arrest warrants for Khaled Sharrouf and Mohamed Elomar for “terrorism-related activity”.
The former Sydney residents will be arrested if they return to Australia, the statement said.
Photographs posted last week on a Twitter account linked to Sharrouf showed Elomar smiling and holding the severed heads of two Syrian soldiers.
