Australia's most wanted terrorist Neil Prakash is reportedly alive and under arrest despite reports he was killed six months ago in northern Iraq. The ABC reports Prakash was arrested by Turkish authorities several weeks ago after being contacted by Australian officials who believed they had intelligence he was planning to enter the country. In it's report, The New York Times lists Prakash as one of a series of high-value IS recruiters and motivators deliberately targeted by the FBI by drone attacks. However, The New York Times quoted a senior US military official who now says he survived, but was wounded. "In the last few weeks, however, a Middle Eastern government arrested Mr Prakash, another senior American military official said," the report reads.
