The Islamic State has begun urging Australians to join the group's fight in the Philippines as an alternative to travelling to Syria, in a long-feared shift that would swell foreign fighter ranks on Australia's own doorstep.
In the latest propaganda video from the group, Australian Islamic State fighter "Abu Adam" also calls on Australians to carry out attacks at home using weapons such as nail guns and trucks.
In the first Islamic State video in months featuring an Australian, Abu Adam al-Australi, thought to be Melbourne man Mounir Raad, exhorts followers from the group's crumbling capital in Syria to travel to the Philippines or, failing that, "kill them wherever you find them" at home.
