Australia discovered identity of two terrorists and issued arrest warrants.
According to a Syrian source, at least one of them has been killed by snipers of the Syrian National Defense Forces.

Australia has issued arrest warrants for a pair of Australian citizens believed to be fighting in Syria after images emerged of the two holding the severed heads of Syrian soldiers.

Australian Federal Police (AFP) counter-terrorism chief Neil Gaughan told ABC in an interview that warrants had been issued for Australians Khaled Sharrouf and Mohamed Elomar on terrorism offences.

A Twitter account linked to al Qaeda offshoot Islamic State published pictures of the beheaded corpses and heads of five soldiers killed in Syria's Raqqa province, saying the soldiers were from the 17th division.

Sharrouf and Elomar travelled to Syria and Iraq late last year, ABC reported, and a Twitter account purported to belong to Sharrouf recently showed pictures of Elomar handling severed heads.

"As soon as they set foot on Australian soil they will be taken into custody," Gaughan said.
