The government has a strong case to have Australia’s most wanted terrorist, Islamic State recruiter Neil Prakash, prosecuted in the country under Australian law, a counter-terrorism expert has said. Prakash, formerly of Melbourne, is reportedly alive and was arrested by Turkish authorities trying to cross from Syria into that country several weeks ago. “Australia will collaborate closely with Turkish authorities in accordance with law. “Australia has a very strong case to have him prosecuted for offences committed under Australian law,” she said. Australian authorities would be now seeking to proceed with Prakash’s arrest warrant for foreign fighter activities and involvement in crimes on home soil, Carroll said.
