#JihadiJake #JihadiJohn #ISIS #Australia #Melbourne Jihadi John of Britain is making headlines, so has Jihadi Jake of Australia. But - the Australian’s coming into prominence is because he has been killed in a suicide attack as reported in news.sky.com dated 12 March 2015.
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.

There is crisis in the air as IS militants come to within 2-Km of Baghdad

The situation in the Middle East, especially in Iraq and Syria, keeps changing every minute and latest reports indicate that the IS militants are literally knocking at the doorsteps of Baghdad news.sky.com – within 2-Km as some reports mention.
Local residents are afraid to leave their houses and the roads are deserted in anticipation of imminent attacks and violence.
The revelations have been made by Canon Andrew White – in his words, the IS militants were reportedly only a mile away from the capital amid clashes with Iraqi soldiers. Moreover, there has also been renewed fighting in the central cities of Baquba and Ramadi.
The situation in Syria is no better – in spite of the recent coalition airstrikes, fighters from IS are believed to have come to within three miles of the strategic border town of Kobani.
Canon White is the vicar of St George's Church - the only Anglican Church in Iraq – and he has said that civilians were being killed by coalition air raids in Iraq.
He feels that that his church would be "very high up" on the extremist group's target list and he himself would be at the very top of the list.
