Officials reportedly confirm Sharrouf and two sons were killed in a coalition air strike while driving near Raqqa on 11 AugustIslamic State terrorist Khaled Sharrouf and his two sons have been killed in Syria, media reports say. The ABC and the Australian reported government officials as confirming Sharrouf – who fled Australia in 2013 to join extremist forces – and his sons Abdullah and Zarqawi were killed in a coalition air strike while driving near Raqqa on 11 August. Sharrouf’s wife, Tara Nettleton, is thought to have died in Syria in September following an appendix operation. The pair had five children: Zaynab, 15; Hoda, 14; Abdullah, 12; Zarqawi, 11; and Hamzah, six. Zaynab was married to another Isis terrorist, Mohamed Elomar, who is also believed to have died in an air strike last year.
