Turkey: Australian IS recruiter says was forced to feature in propaganda videos

Ankara, Sep 29 (IBNS): Australia's most wanted terrorist and IS recruit, Neil Prakash, said he's not 100 percent responsible for the group's activities, according to reports.

Prakash, who appeared in IS propaganda videos, told a Turkey court that he was forced to do so.

He was arrested in Turkey last year while attempting to cross the border under a false name.

Meanwhile, Australia has sought his extradition to face charges at home, a BBC report read.

Asked if he was responsible for making the calls on attacking Australia in IS propaganda videos, he said, "I had something to do with it, but I was not 100 percent responsible."

"I am sorry for the trouble I have caused," he added.

Prakash left his home country Australia in 2013 and moved to Syria, where he took the name Abu Khaled al-Cambodi.

He is presently undergoing a trial in Turkey.
