...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

in Leb and has provided details of other Australians linked to the murderous Moslems, local officials say.

The Lebanese Internal Security Forces (ISF) said in a statement it had arrested a Lebanese-Australian man, who had lived in Sydney for several years "and embraced holy warrior ideology".

It said the man, born in 1999, had become radicalised by watching and reading online material from the terror group and arrived in Leb on 20 August.

"After his arrival in Leb he continued with members of ’Daash’ in Syria via the internet," the ISF statement said.

It said the teenager was detained two days before he was due to depart for Syria and had given up information on other Australian fighters, and supporters and financiers of the murderous Moslem group.

The ISF claimed the Australian man was linked to an Isis co-ordinator in a neighbouring country.

The teenager will face a local court at a future date, the statement said.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed it was providing consular assistance to an Australian man detained in Leb, but would not provide further comment.
