CANBERRA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bomb making materials were found in the home of a Melbourne teen terrorist who is believed to have died in a suicide bombing in Iraq after awaiting his turn to “stand before Allah” on a list of “martyrdom bombers”.<\/h3>\n

Jake Bilardi, 18, left Melbourne in August 2014 and is understood to have flown via Turkey to Iraq.<\/p>\n

He is believed to have died on Thursday morning (AEDT) during a series of deadly coordinated Islamic State suicide bombings in the Iraq city of Ramadi in which at least 17 people were killed and dozens injured.<\/p>\n

On Thursday it emerged that his passport had been cancelled after he left Australia and that he had been under the radar of authorities since then.<\/p>\n

Victorian police also confirmed that bomb making materials were found in Bilardi’s home, but no explosive devices were discovered.<\/p>\n

Pictures of the 18-year-old have been plastered across IS Twitter accounts, with one captioned “For today’s Martyrs”.<\/p>\n

One image appears to show Bilardi driving a white van, typically used by IS as mobile suicide bombs, with the words “may God accept him”.<\/p>\n

Australian authorities are trying to confirm the teen’s death.<\/p>\n

Unverified blog posts written under the name Abu Abdullah Al-Australi, believed to be Bilardi, reveal the teen was plotting attacks on Australia before fleeing to Iraq.<\/p>\n

He wanted to bomb foreign consulates and political targets in Australia, as well as launch attacks on shopping centres, before dumping the idea.<\/p>\n

In another post Bilardi said he was “waiting for my turn to stand before Allah” and there was a “current waiting list of 12 martyrdom bombers, of which I am one”.<\/p>\n

The post details the journey from a bright school student to IS terrorist, describing growing up in Melbourne as “very comfortable”.<\/p>\n

He dreamed of becoming a political journalist.<\/p>\n

Bilardi reportedly became a confused and angry atheist after losing his mother to cancer in 2012, living with his two older brothers and a sister after the death and converting to Islam.<\/p>\n

When he initially went to Syria he was supporting groups such as Jabhat al-Nusra, but when he looked into IS he became attracted to its methods and ideology and joined it.<\/p>\n

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop cancelled Bilardi’s passport on security advice in October, two months after he fled to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

At least 20 Australians have been killed in the conflict and 100 passports have been cancelled on national security grounds.<\/p>\n

“It is a senseless and cruel and violent end for many of them and if Jake Bilardi is another example of this, well then the tragedy deepens further,” Ms Bishop said.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Tony Abbott described the unconfirmed death as an “absolutely horrific situation”.<\/p>\n

“It’s very, very important that we do everything we can to try to safeguard our young people against the lure of this shocking, alien and extreme ideology,” Mr Abbott said.<\/p>\n

BBC journalist Secunder Kermani previously made contact with an IS supporter he understood to be Bilardi.<\/p>\n

Mr Kermani said Bilardi had tweeted on several occasions his support for attacking Australia because of its role in the military coalition against IS.<\/p>\n

The government is consulting with Facebook, Google and other internet companies about taking down online content which could have a radicalising effect.<\/p>\n
