ISIS Fighter’s Australian Citizenship Is Revoked Under Antiterror Laws
Lowy Institute said that I don’t think anybody has problems with having Khaled Sharrouf’s citizenship stripped,
but there’s a bit of a problem given there’s five children in Syria who are Australian citizens whose mother is dead, and Sharrouf’s now a Lebanese citizen,
Mr. Sharrouf, who was born to Lebanese parents in Australia
and holds Lebanese citizenship, served time in prison in Australia for his involvement in a foiled terrorist plot and has publicly declared himself a member of the Islamic State.

SYDNEY, Australia — An Islamic State fighter who posted a photo of a beheaded Syrian soldier online has become the first
dual national to be stripped of his Australian citizenship under antiterrorism laws, according to local news reports.
The photograph shocked Australians and appalled the former United States secretary of state, John Kerry, who was visiting Australia at the time
and called the image "one of the most disturbing, stomach turning, grotesque photographs ever displayed." Please verify you’re not a robot by clicking the box.
Australia, a longtime ally of the United States in its fight against Islamic militants in Afghanistan, Iraq
and Syria, is on alert for potential attacks by Islamic extremists, including fighters returning from conflict zones.
Rodger Shanahan said that If there was a poster boy for stripping citizenship, it’s Khaled Sharrouf,
