rebels eulogise Aussie 'martyr' - The Australian



AN Australian man killed while fighting in Syria's bloody civil war is being hailed as a martyr in online tributes posted by rebel forces, which show him posing with weapons and building homemade bombs.



The man's name and date of birth correspond with that given for one person in a secret 2010 cable sent by the US embassy in Canberra, detailing people to be added to the US government's Terrorist Screening Database. However, his family deny he was a member of any extremist group.
