Perth-born doctor Tareq Kamleh, also known as “Dr Jihad,” is reportedly alive in an Iraqi jail, according to two outlets. He became widely known after appearing in Islamic State propaganda videos that highlighted his role as a medical professional and urged other healthcare workers to join the group. The reports say Kamleh had left Australia to join ISIS and had treated wounded militants. One account states he was declared dead about a decade ago, but new information now places him in custody in Iraq. Both sources describe him as a paediatrician from Perth who became a prominent figure in ISIS messaging. One article further reports that Kamleh wants to return to Australia. The reports do not provide additional verified details on his legal status, the circumstances of his detention, or confirmation from Australian authorities in the excerpts provided, but they consistently indicate that he is believed to be alive and held in Iraq after being previously declared dead.
