How did Jake Bilardi, a student of the Australian Craigiburn Secondary College, who had linked his life to IGIL, were buried and buried? What made him leave his native land at the age of seventeen to fight for other people's ideals in the territory of an unfamiliar country? Answers to the questions can be found in the proposed article.

First mention

The events of March 11, 2015 became known to the world community thanks to information and photos in the networks that were placed by jihadists. On that day, they attacked the city of Ramadi (Anbar province), controlled by the government forces of Iraq. During the attack, the militants first used a record number of mined vehicles, controlled by suicide bombers. According to different data, their number was from ten to thirteen. After the explosions began, a massive assault began, as a result, four quarters in the western part of the city, the strongholds and military equipment there were seized. In these events took part Jake Bilardi.

The suicide bomber blew himself up in one of the cars, however, his name was not mentioned in the press at first. The jihadists published a list of dead terrorists, among whom the majority are foreigners representing Belgium, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Russia (the North Caucasus). The Islamic name of an Australian citizen is Abu Abdullah al-Austral.

Identification of identity

The Australian Government has taken steps to identify the identity of the deceased suicide bomber. In the course of the work, it was revealed that 90 citizens of the country went to IGIL under the influence of militant propaganda on the Internet. Twenty of them are no longer alive. The youngest among them was Jake Bilardi from a large family in Melbourne. The photo of the dark-haired, slender boy completely coincided with the suicide bomber from Australia, who died near Ramadi. This was televised by Minister Julie Bishop. At the boy's apartment, homemade explosives prepared for terrorist attacks in the country were found if they could not reach Iraq.

A little bit about Igil

"Al-Qaeda" personified a terrorist group of a global scale, while in 2006 on the air of "Al-Jazeera" did not appear information about the establishment of the IGI - Islamic state of Iraq. Defeated by the Americans, the impostors began to rebuild the organization in 2011, when opposition protests in Syria turned into a real civil war. Dislocated on the territory of already two states, in 2013 the militants added the state of the Levant (Syria, Lebanon and Palestine) to the formation of IGIL. In 2014, they officially announced the severance of ties with Al-Qaeda.

Jake Bilardi came across the idea of building a new state on his own. The militants of IGIL invited real men to stand up for a just cause, it worked against social outcasts from other states. They did not want to see the obvious: beheadings of American, Japanese and British journalists, the arson of a cell with a captured Jordanian pilot, the extermination of the Yezidi men and the execution of 150 women who refused to take part in "sex jihad". Bloody acts did not stop the growth of the army of militants, numbering in the fall of 2014 the order of 50 thousand people. Today the leader of Iraqi Kurdistan speaks about 200 thousand fighters. Among them, 25 thousand foreign mercenaries. They belonged to Jake Bilardi.

IGIL: The army of terrorists

British intelligence during the special operation received personal files for 22,000 people from fifty countries that expressed a desire to fight on the side of IGIL. Everyone filled out a questionnaire from 23 points, where he reflected the degree of his willingness to become a suicide bomber. Among them are those who expressed a desire to do this after a few hours. Most of the future jihadists from Tunisia, Russia (the North Caucasus), France and Morocco. These documents indicate the ease of entering Syria and Iraq through Turkey, which is a transit state. On its land there are preparatory points, from where future fighters are sent to the belligerent countries.

In the photo, Jake Bilardi feels happy in the company of jihadists, although his father still can not believe that his son went to the Middle East at will.

What is known about the Australian?

The young man was born in Craigiburne on 1.12.1996. The youngest of six children, he was shy from childhood. Like all the boys, he loved football. Relations with peers did not evolve, on their part he was often subjected to abuse. He had an unstable psyche. Father (John Bilardi) somehow ran into the bedroom to scream his wife for help and saw a strange picture: the son cornered his own mother, threatening her with sharp scissors. Manifestations of aggression have become frequent. After the divorce, my father did not take part in the children's life for a while. Reunited with them because of the death of his ex-wife from oncology.

Jake Bilardi by that time had already converted to Islam, spent most of the day at the computer. I could spend hours spinning videos, as it turned out later, with Igilov propaganda. In August 2014, he disappeared from the house, appeared in photographs in the company of jihadists. It was they who, after the death of the young man, focused on his personality, citing the example of "white jihad" for his own citizens who did not want to join the ranks of IGIL.

About where the young man is buried, is not reported.
