Notorious Sydney jihadist Mohamed Elomar welcomed the news on his own Twitter account, writing "may Allah accept him"

And may australia boot this ****er out

It's insane
Two of my female (!!!) cousins went a few weeks ago and it made national news, everyone here hates them now and I've heard numerous people wish death on them and hope they go to hell :/

I'm on mobile, are you UK based? There were two extremely well-educated British girls who went to Syria and it was all over the news.

Tragic, and not in the ATRL-sense.

I didn't know this was a problem for our good sistrens in Australia too.

Yes I am. This is the guardian article that mentions them.

To think I saw them at a wedding in March and now they're in Syria

I guess they are where they wanted to be and what happens happens. I just hope they don't contribute to the killing of other innocent people, I know they know better than that and aren't psychopaths like the rest of them.

What is happening today

i never said "who cares"

Today has been a horrific day. RIP

Omg not your cousins.

Going by what I read, they're very intelligent gurls.

This news from Australia isn't being reported much, bizarre.

Internationally or domestically? It's being reported a bit in Australia, but only a quick mention every hour or two. Every TV channel here is reported the plane crash, and the news isn't even meant to be on right now. I think it's because 27 Australians died. After the Dutch and Malaysians, we had the most fatalities.

But it's being reported here:

It's just a MASSIVE news day

Any other day it'd be the leading news story.
