Smoke raises behind an Islamic State flag after Iraqi security forces and Shiite fighters took control of Saadiya in Diyala province from Islamist State militants, November 24, 2014.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s decision to send troops to Iraq has received mixed reactions from experts. While some believe that it will help the security of the country, some think that it is unlikely to make Iraqi army stronger.

A former British schoolboy turned ISIS supporter Shabazz Suleman has warned that several militants are just waiting for orders to launch attacks in the West. The teenage boy left without a trace in 2013 while volunteering in a Turkish charity providing humanitarian aid to Aleppo. The former student of the Royal Grammar School in High Wycombe was previously reported to be included in prisoner exchanges along with another British national and Turkish diplomats who were released by ISIS in Sept. 2014.

Suleman told The Times that ISIS gave him a choice to be part of the prisoner exchange or be sent back to Britain without any links to the militant group. The young British ISIS sympathiser said after praising the Paris shootings that there were many of his "brothers just waiting for the order to do attacks in the West."

He described how he was among the 200 ISIS captives released by Turkey eventually. Suleman said the police understood why the prisoners wanted to fight in Syria. He added that they had pizza in prison. They were allowed Internet access and enjoyed watching ISIS videos.

A spokesperson for the UK Foreign Office told the Independent that it was aware of a British national who was reported missing in Turkey last year. The office also revealed that it was providing assistance to Suleman's family in Buckinghamshire. The spokesperson said the Foreign Secretary has raised the matter with Turkey's Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Meanwhile, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has reportedly ordered the execution of his fighters after losing in battle. Fox News reported that some 56 ISIS members were killed after an encounter with Kurdish fighters. Saed Mimousini, media spokesperson for the Kurdish Democratic Party, said the ISIS leader's decision came after Kurdish Peshmerga fighters defeated the militants in Kobar.

Mimousini revealed that executions of ISIS fighters happened in Al-Namrood, east Mosul. He claimed that the battles between ISIS and the Kurdish fighters had killed about 300 militants and injured more than 100.

Since late summer, the U.S.-led coalition has been launching airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Following recent terrorist attacks in Paris, the U.S. military's Central Command Twitter account was hacked. A message was posted in all caps, threatening U.S. soldiers: "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING. WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS." CNN reported that the chilling message included a link to a statement that declared ISIS will not stop.
