Australian police charged a high-profile Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
suspect with six terrorism-related offenses Sunday, two days after he was extradited from Turkey, officials said.

Neil Christopher Prakash,
...in our archives as Neil Prakash, in the ISIS “caliphate” he went by Abu Khaled al-Cambodi. Of Fijian and Cambodian ancestry and reared as a Buddhist, the former rap singer converted to Islam in 2012, then a year later made his way to ISIS in Syria, where they made full use of his various talents for seducing the kids back home to join in the jihad, whether at home or in Syria.

31, was accused of offenses including engaging in hostile activity overseas, supporting a terrorist organization, and advocating terrorism, police said.

He was charged in Melbourne by a counter-terrorism team after landing in Australia on Friday following his extradition, federal police said in a statement. The allegations carry maximum penalties ranging from five years to life imprisonment.

Prakash was arrested in Turkey in 2016 after crossing into the country from Syria.

He was sentenced in 2019 to seven years in prison by a Ottoman Turkish court, which found him guilty of belonging to a terrorist organization.

Authorities estimate about 230 Australians have traveled to Iraq and Syria to take up arms since 2012 — Prakash being one of the most prominent examples.

He was featured in IS recruiting videos in which he urged Australians to "wake up" and join the group.

Prakash was described by former conservative prime minister Malcolm Turnbull as one of the "key financiers or organizers" for IS in the Middle East.

Former Australian attorney-general George Brandis in 2016 said Prakash had been killed in Iraq following a targeted US Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
It was later determined that he was maimed but survived the blast.
