General Info:
Adam Brookman is a Melbourne nurse accused of working as a medic for the Islamic State terrorist group in Syria.
Brookman arrived in Melbourne on a Qantas flight and was taken to the Melbourne Custody Centre.
The father-of-five’s travel home from the Middle East was facilitated by Australian agencies after he turned himself in to Turkish authorities.
Court documents outline one charge relates to Brookman knowingly providing support to the Islamic State by undertaking guard duty and reconnaissance between April 2010 and August 2014.
It is alleged that support would help the group “prepare or foster” a terrorist act.
The second charge relates to undertaking the guard duty and reconnaissance with the intention of supporting the Islamic State terrorist group.
Brookman will be escorted by Australian federal police officers to Victoria, where he is expected to be charged.
