The claim, posted on Twitter by Sharrouf and first reported by The Australian, follows news that an 18-year-old Melbourne man Adam Dahman was behind an attack which killed five people in Baghdad this month.
The tweet, posted yesterday on a timeline dotted with grisly images of executed Syrian soldiers, stated that “Mashallah two Australians do martyrdom operations in a week killings 100dreds may Allah accept them in the highest jan”.
No further details on the Australian in questions have been released.
Earlier this week, the federal government confirmed that a suicide bomber, described as a “knight” and martyr named as Abu Bakral Australi by terror group ISIL, was from Melbourne.
The government said the man was 17 when he left Australia for the region last year.
Attorney-General George Brandis described the development as “disturbing”.
“The participation by Australians in the conflict in Iraq and Syria poses a significant domestic security threat to Australia when those involved return home and seek to pursue violence here,” Senator Brandis said.
