Moment notorious 'tiny terrorist' who planned ISIS-style attacks on Sydney and Melbourne lands in Australia where he faces life in prison
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Islamic State terrorist Neil Prakash arrived in Australia to face terror charges
- Melbourne-born terrorist flew from Turkey to Darwin and will go to Victoria
- He is regarded as 'most important and most dangerous' Australian ISIS member
Prakash was in prison in Turkey for six years for his role with ISIS and had been held in an immigration detention centre since his release in February.
Former Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton revoked Prakash's citizenship in 2018 over his ISIS participation and on the grounds he was Fijian.
But Fijian immigration officials were adamant Prakash - who was born in Melbourne to a Fijian father - has never held or sought citizenship of their country. He also has Cambodian ancestry and was raised a Buddhist.
Prakash rose to prominence over his links to several terror plots in Australia and his use of social media to lure potential recruits to Islamic State.
In Turkey, he pleaded not guilty to being a member of a terrorist organisation in but was convicted after a lengthy trial in Kilis, and sentenced to seven and a half years jail.
During his trial, he admitted joining Islamic State but denied being a leader of the group.
He also said he regretted his association with the group.
The former rap singer was also linked to a failed Melbourne plot to behead a police officer and had connections to a number of Australian jihadis.
He was stripped of his Australian citizenship and had his passport cancelled on December 21, 2018.
'If given the opportunity, Mr Prakash would harm or kill Australians, and our country is a safer place for him having lost his Australian citizenship,' Mr Dutton said.
In June, the High Court ruled that the government's ability to strip citizenship is invalid, paving the way for Prakash to have his citizenship restored, according to the Australian.
2012: He converts to Islam and attends the controversial al-Furqan Islamic Centre in Melbourne
2013: Prakash leaves Australia to join the Islamic State in Syria. Takes the jihadi name Abu Khaled al-Cambodi and appears in IS propaganda videos. Recruits would-be terrorists in Australia
2015: Australian federal police issue a warrant for his arrest through Interpol
Prakash is linked to a failed Melbourne plot to behead a police officer on Anzac Day 2015
Prakash publicly praises Numan Haider, the 18-year-old who was killed after stabbing two police officers outside a Melbourne police station in 2014
2016: Prakash is captured by Turkish authorities trying to cross from Syria using false documents and imprisoned on terrorism-related charges
2018: A Turkish court rejects Australia's application for his extradition and a judge orders his release. Moments later, he is back behind bars to face local terror charges
2019: Prakash is sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in a Turkish prison
2022: Prakash is released from jail but is being held in an immigration detention centre
