CANBERRA, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Australia's most wanted terrorist Neil Prakash has been arrested.
Prakash, a senior Islamic State (IS) recruiter and terror plot instigator, was arrested on his way into Turkey after Australian authorities provided their Turkish counterparts with intelligence that Prakash was planning to enter the country.
It is believed that Turkish officials are negotiating with several countries who want to question Prakash about terrorist activity in their own counties.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) first used a first-instance warrant for Prakash's arrest in August 2015.
The Australian government announced in May that they believed Prakash had been killed by a U.S. airstrike on the Iraqi city of Mosul, which the government said would be a significant blow to IS recruitment of Australians but it has since emerged that Prakash was only wounded.
