Australian officials admitted to a "fairly major breakdown" in border security following reports that convicted terrorist Khaled Sharrouf has fled the country. He is thought to be now in Syria. Up to 200 Australians are estimated to have traveled to Syria to fight with the rebels, and about half are said to have joined al Qaeda's Syrian branch, the Al Nusrah Front, while others have joined the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham.
