Islamic State fighter laughs at Sydney siege
The former Sydney boxer who has been fighting with Islamic State in Syria has taken to Twitter to mock the Sydney siege.
Mohamed Elomar, who was photographed earlier this year holding up the heads of two dead soldiers, sent out two tweets this morning.
He was been linked to the Abu Hafs Al Australi social media accounts, which posted messages supporting the siege, News Corp reports.

The Twitter profile picture has also been changed to the Islamic State flag.
Meanwhile, Abu Hamza AlMuhajir, a former Street Dawah member and close friend of Islamic State commander Mohammad Ali Baryalei, also took to Twitter to mock the situation.
“The world must stand for the news of 13 Australian hostages but it would sleep for the news of over 130000 Muslims killed in Syria,” he tweeted.
“Gaza is under siege, Homs and Damascus are under siege the CAFÉ in Sydney is Not. The Hash rage SydneySiege is a joke.”
