Australia awaits Turkey's response on extradition of ISIS recruiter

None

SYDNEY - Australia is awaiting Turkey's response to a request to extradite a citizen believed to be a top recruiter for Islamic State who has been arrested in Turkey, the Australian government said on Monday.

 

Justice Minister Michael Keenan said the man is believed to be Neil Prakash, who has been linked to several Australia-based attack plans and appeared in Islamic State videos and magazines.

 

"He's obviously subject at the moment to the Turkish justice system and Turkish legal processes," Australian justice minister Michael Keenan said on Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio. "The most important thing of course is that people involved in allegations of this nature face justice."
