One of Australia’s most wanted terrorists is believed to have tweeted a picture of his young son holding the decapitated head of a Syrian soldier.
“Thats my boy!” Australian jihadist Khaled Sharrouf captioned the gruesome photo, believed to have been taken in the Syrian city of Raqqa and posted to Twitter on Aug. 8, The Australian reports.
In the photo, the boy, believed to be 7, is wearing a blue shirt, checkered shorts and baseball cap. His face and the severed head have been blacked out, but the child is described as appearing visibly disgusted as he clutches the soldier’s head by the hair.
“What a head,” the boy’s father said in the caption of another photo of himself with the soldier’s severed head.
The 30-year-old jihadist is a former Sydney resident and is believed to be fighting in Syria alongside the al Qaeda offshoot terror group the Islamic State.
Back in July, he issued a call to arms to all Muslims in Australia who wanted to join the fight in the Middle East, posting a picture on Twitter of a young child with an assault rifle.
Former Australian boxer Mohamed Elomar, who is said to be one of Sharrouf’s terrorist buddies, was photographed recently cheerfully gripping a pair of decapitated heads in his hands.
Additional photos posted online show Sharrouf with his sons decked out in camouflage military fatigues as they wield machine guns and pistols.
Sharrouf is wanted by the Australian Federal Police for numerous terrorist activities in the Middle East.
