- — Charles Miranda

THREE Australian Islamic State jihadists have been captured at gunpoint in Lebanon. Their capture came as Justice Minister Michael Keenan (pictured) warned others were also looking to flee through Turkey and Jordan. The three Australian-Lebanese dual nationals were arrested at gunpoint in a Lebanese Army raid on a house east of Beirut. Sources said the three men were now in the notorious Roumieh prison and all three had specifical­ly said they did not want to return to Australia. Mr Keenan said there were still 100 Aussie jihadists working with IS.
