According to Western Australia Today, spotted beside Abdullah Elmir - also known as Abu Khaled from Australia - is a bearded man whom Australian intelligence agencies said is suspected Aussie terrorist Mohamed Elomar. He is the man who was seen a few weeks ago holding decapitated heads of Iraqi soldiers.

Elomar is a former boxer who left Australia for the Middle East to join Islamic State extremist in Syria. He is also linked to another suspected Aussie terrorist, Khaled Sharrouf, who also posted on social media sites photos of his young son holding a severed head.

Elomar and Sharrouf have pending warrants of arrest.

ABC provided more details on Elmir who was a student at Condell Park High School at Sydney's south-west. In June, he and another 16-year-old Australian male left the country and are believed to have flown to Turkey and then travelled by land to Syria to join IS militants.

Elmir's friends said they were surprised by his sudden departure.

One of his female friends admitted that Elmir has caused a lot of conflict on social media as netizens commented on what he did. "His close friends are trying to get everyone to respect Abdullah's decision and not cuss him as he was just as normal as everyone else," the female friend told ABC.

Islam community leaders in Australia have criticised the video and express concern about Elmir's future.

"I'm really terribly disappointed in seeing a young man destroy his life like that and upset and angry at the people who've duped him into thinking he'll be a hero by being part of their PR campaign," said Silma Ihram from the Australian Muslim Women's Association.

"We need to understand the issues of radicalisation and exactly what attracts those people, especially young men, to these organisations," added Lydia Shelly, a solicitor with the Muslim Legal Network.

However, reports on Tuesday indicated that it is not only young men but also young women who are attracted to join the IS.
