Keenan seeks brief on ISIL documents

Justice Minister Michael Keenan will seek a briefing on leaked Islamic State documents when he visits Germany next week.

German intelligence agents are examining more than 22,000 files said to show the addresses, telephone numbers and family contacts of jihadis who signed up to join the group.

At least one of the files contains details about an Australian.

Mr Keenan said he would not comment on any individual case, but noted he would be in Germany on Monday and Tuesday.

"If there's information we can share together that enhances the security of Australia, enhances the security of Germany or other friends, we'll certainly do that," he told reporters in Melbourne on Friday.

The Australian is listed as a 36-year-old computer engineer using the codename Abu Oubeida Al Loubnani.
