Aussies fighting in Syria a concern: Carr

AAP April 14, 2013 4:51PM

FOREIGN Minister Bob Carr says the government is aware of reports that Australians fighting against the Syrian regime could be linking up with terrorist groups in the war-torn country.

When asked if up to 200 Australians could be in Syria fighting against President Bashar al-Assad's forces, Senator Carr said the relevant government agencies were across the issue and taking it very seriously.

"There's a big investment of time and resources going into it," Senator Carr told Sky News on Sunday.

"It's clearly a potential threat to Australia."

He wouldn't elaborate as it was a matter of security and intelligence, but said Syria had "without a doubt" become a magnet for jihadist groups across the globe.

One of the most active jihadist militant groups in Syria, the al-Nusrah Front, was placed on Australia's terrorist blacklist last month.

Unknown before the uprising, the al-Nusrah Front has become the spearhead of the insurgency ahead of the mainstream rebel Free Syrian Army since mid-2012.

The Australian newspaper on Saturday reported ASIO was concerned at least 100 Australians fighting in Syria's civil war could be doing so alongside the al-Nusrah Front.
