Australia’s most wanted Islamic State militant and terror recruiter Neil Prakash has reportedly been killed.
Neil Prakash who was born to Cambodian and Fijian parents, was a high school drop‑out who once started an apprenticeship as a mechanic.
Australian police last year issued a warrant for his arrest.
According to the Herald Sun, revelations of the Melbourne‑born radical’s demise have been communicated in recent exchanges between senior IS figures.
They claim Prakash has been "shahada" — the terror group’s description when a fighter is killed.
No details have yet emerged of how or where he reportedly died.
The terrorist, who was alleged to have had contact with some of those accused of plotting an Anzac Day terror attack in Victoria, flew to Syria in 2013.
Until recently he had used social media to groom potential terror recruits, but was forced to change his communication methods because of concerns he would be tracked by countries fighting IS.
