TEHRAN (FNA)- The number of Australians fighting for ISIL terrorist group doubled in the past year, according to Foreign Minister Julie Bishop.
"We estimate that there are around 120 Australians currently in Iraq and Syria" supporting ISIL, and other terrorist groups, AFP quoted Bishop as saying in New York.
"That is double the number that I reported here 12 months ago."
The minister estimated there were currently 30,000 foreigners from at least 100 countries who had joined ISIL.
"So the numbers are still increasing but we hope to stem the trajectory through our efforts," according to Bishop.
