Australian Doctor Returns from ISIS | Australia News
Description
An Australian doctor thought dead for nearly a decade after fighting in Syria has resurfaced alive—locked up in an Iraqi jail. Once believed to have died in Raqqa in 2017, Tareq Kamleh, who went by “Dr. Jihad,” is now facing terrorism charges and no Australian government support. Officials and ministers are outraged, calling his actions a betrayal of his medical oath and his country. Iraqi court records confirm his role in ISIS’s “health department,” and AFP already has an arrest warrant. The case reignites national debate as other ISIS-linked Australians return, with opposition firmly against his repatriation.
