Jihadi Jake is a teenager from Melbourne who had gone to Iraq to join Islamic State and he has reportedly been killed while carrying out a suicide bombing. This has been revealed through a video that shows a white four-wheel-drive with an inset image of a young man who looks like Jake Bilardi sitting behind the wheel.
Jake Bilardi is Jihadi Jake. He was reported to be a shy but gifted maths student and he converted to Islam after his mother died while he was at high school. He had travelled to the Middle East last year and after two months informed reportedly contacted his family to tell them he was training to become a suicide bomber.
However, he later told them he had changed his mind and was travelling to Syria to fight there. It seems the militants had carried out 13 suicide car bombings on security personnel positions in Ramadi. This is the provincial capital of Anbar province.
In the attack, two soldiers were killed and eight others wounded in the near-simultaneous attacks, Sabah Karhout. Subsequently, in a statement posted online, the IS has admitted to the blasts that had been carried out by foreign fighters from Australia, Belgium, Syria and Uzbekistan.
