BEIRUT/KABUL - The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group has ordered sixteen of it’s fighters to become suicide bombers after contracting HIV from two Moroccan sex slaves, it has been reported.

According to the doctor who was forced to treat the ISIS fighters, the men were quarantined by terror group’s leadership after they went through medical tests, confirming they had HIV.

The doctor whose identity has not be revealed further added that the men were treated at an ISIS-run hospital i the eastern-Syrian city of Al-Mayadeen.

He said the men who are mostly foreign nationals had unprotected sex with two Moroccan sex slaves. He said “We were ordered by the group’s local leadership to transfer the infected militants to a quarantine center in the city.” He also added that the two Moroccan women escaped to Turkey “for fear of execution by the IS”.

Meanwhile, Australia is considering a request from the United States to extend its air campaign against the Islamic State group in Iraq into Syria, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Friday. The United States has been leading a coalition of Western and Arab powers carrying out air strikes against IS fighters in Syria and Iraq since last year.

Canberra - using six RAAF F/A18 combat jets and two support aircraft based in the United Arab Emirates - joined the raids in Iraq but not the strikes on targets in Syria, citing legal concerns.

Australia has also sent about 500 soldiers, including around 170 special forces troops, to serve as advisers in Iraq. Abbott said while there were legal issues around any involvement in Syria, Australia would “carefully consider” the Pentagon’s request and reveal its decision in a few weeks.

“We have a formal request from the Americans to extend our airstrikes into Syria,” the prime minister told reporters in the western city of Perth. “(IS) is a movement of almost incalculable, unfathomable evil and it’s very important that Australia play its part in the campaign to disrupt, degrade and ultimately destroy this death cult.

“While there is a little difference between the legalities of airstrikes on either side of the border, there’s no difference in the morality.”

The Australian military’s chief of joint operations Vice Admiral David Johnston said in a media briefing on Wednesday that his country’s involvement in Syrian airstrikes, if it does occur, would not be a “game-changer”.

“The contribution of Australia, while always welcome, isn’t a game-changer one way or the other,” Johnston said.

“In part, there is a bit of a zero-sum game. We’ve got a number of aircraft there. Whether we’re operating in Iraq or in Syria, the capacity is the same.”
