Thats my boy!: Shocking photograph of a SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Australian boy brandishing the head of a Syrian soldier - and his jihadist father who took it # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Young son of Khaled Sharrouf was photographed holding the severed head in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa Sharrouf, one of Australias most-wanted terrorists posted the photo to Twitter last week He is believed to be fighting with al-Qaeda off-shoot Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant The young son of an Australian jihadist has been photographed gripping the severed head of a slain Syrian soldier. Khaled Sharroufs son, believed to be aged seven, used both hands to hoist the decapitated head up as he posed for a chilling photo. His proud father, one of Australias most-wanted terrorists and a suspected war criminal, posted the photo to Twitter on August 8 with the caption: Thats my boy!. The extremely graphic photo - seen on Twitter by Daily Mail Australia - is believed to have been taken in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, according to The Australian. With an uncomfortable expression on his face and clearly struggling to grip the head in his hands, the boy stands posing in front of a fence that featured the severed heads of apparent enemies of ISIS. Dressed in an innocent blue t-shirt, checkered shorts, sandals and a cap - the youngster looks more as if hes dressed for a holiday tour than a warzone. Sharrouf also uploaded a photo of himself posing with the same soldiers head with the caption: What a head. Another photo shows Sharrouf posing with his three young sons dressed in identical camouflage fatigues, wielding machine guns. One angry tweet, accompanied by a picture of Sharrouf and his children all dressed in military fatigues, reads: The more u hate this path you infidel aussie dogs the happier feel dieinrage when you cant affect men lie about women. He has also directly threatened Australian journalists and claimed Inshaallah soon in Aus - which means God willing or if Allah wills, a clear sign he wishes to bring jihad back to Australia. Daily Mail Australia has seen scores of gruesome and confronting pictures from the conflict - but the photo of Sharroufs son brandishing a head is arguably the worst of them all. Sharrouf, a former Sydney resident, is thought to be fighting with al-Qaeda off-shoot Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Security agencies believe he left Australia using his brothers passport in December, and he will be arrested on terrorism-related charges if he ever returns to Australia. His friend Mohamed Elomar, a former Australian boxer, was pictured recently grinning widely as he posed with two decapitated heads. He then appeared advice on how to access deadly explosives in Sydney. In July, Sharrouf posted a picture of a child brandishing an assault rifle and issued a call-to-arms for other Australian Muslims to join Islamic States bloody war in the Middle East as well as posting a photo on Twitter of a young child brandishing a rifle. Elomar, who is wanted by the Australian Federal Police for his activities in the Middle East, on Monday renewed his social media attack on his former home country on a new Twitter account after his previous one was shut down. The 30-year-old invited wannabe jihadists in Sydney - the city where he was born - to contact him if they want to get their hands on dynamite and grenades. Anyone in Sydney who is after explosives (dynamite sticks, C4 sticks, orica mine sticks, grenades ) lots more. If interested DM me, he wrote. The appalling pictures posted by Sharrouf continue a pattern of online activity. In the early hours of July 5, Sharrouf tweeted: come and be part of what we have dreamt...for decades. It was accompanied by a picture of him decked out in army camouflage posing with a gun in front of a white BMW. This followed Elomar, who took aim at diggers fighting in Iraq, tweeting: Look at the end of these Iraqi maliki dogs bunch of girls cant wait to see a Australia soldier cyring saying bakia.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that bakia meant he cries in Arabic and maliki was a term used to describes the Nouri al-Maliki government, which is led by Shiites. The regime is strongly opposed to Sunni extremists who have torn through Iraqs north in the past few weeks. Another tweet fired off from Sharrouf read: My (provisions) are beneath the shade of my sword. We live better than we lived in our country. But these uploads barely scratch the surface of the disturbing content found on Sharroufs Twitter page. Earlier posts contain pictures so graphic that Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to describe or publish them. But one that can be shared is of a young child brandishing a gun and smiling with the caption: One of dawlas youngest members - which was posted late May. Dawlah is Arabic for country or state. Other photos show Sharrouf standing in front of military vehicles as well as fundamentalist propaganda memes.
