Australia prevents 230 would-be jihadists from leaving the country

#ISIS #jihadist #tonyabbott #sydney #terrorism Australia is tackling the threat of ISIS in a different way. It is preventing would-be jihadists from leaving the country and feels it is a better method to fight terrorism. Its anti-terrorism cell has succeeded in preventing 230 suspected jihadis from departing Australian airports for the Middle East this month. Three of them were teenage boys.
These two boys were from Sydney and were intercepted at Sydney International Airport on March 8 as they attempted to board a flight for Turkey without their parents' knowledge. The boys have, since, been handed over to their parents. This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 25 March 2015.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has revealed that his government was investing more on border security and on countering extremism. In his opinion - it is absolutely critical that the people appreciate that the death cult of ISIS is reaching out to vulnerable and impressionable young people. And in order to check this, prevention is better than cure.
Incidentally, there are media reports that the Islamic State group had posted on a social media website a step-by-step guide to help would-be jihadis leave Australia and fight with the terror group. The guide apparently offers advice on how to use an Islamic State support network and slip through security cracks.
