Kosovo-born New Yorker Mirsad Kandic, 40, faces up to life imprisonment for becoming an ISIS fighter, recruiting other ISIS fighters, and providing weapons, equipment, and battlefield intelligence to ISIS, the US Justice Department announced on Wednesday.

The United States leveled terrorism charges on November 1 against a man extradited from Bosnia who had joined the Islamic State extremist group to allegedly help disseminate propaganda and recruit suicide bombers.

The Bosnian authorities extradited Mirsad Kandic to the US on Tuesday after he had been on Washington's wanted list for three years because of his alleged ties with terrorist organisations.

Kandic was deported on a special plane sent by the US government.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot raised concerns about Australians traveling to Turkey to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) during his recent visit to Turkey. During the discussion on counterterrorism, the PM and his Turkish counterpart, Ahmet Davuto?lu, agreed to expand cooperation between the two countries' security agencies.

The father of an adolescent Australian suspect for carrying out suicide attacks in Iraq for ISIS explained why he feels “fully responsible” for not realizing that his son needed help.

18 year-old Jake Bilardi carried out a suicide bombing attack against an Iraqi Army unit a few days ago, in western Iraq.
