Australian preachers targeted by IS

Three prominent Australian Islamic scholars have been named as "apostates" in a new video by Islamic State.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports youth leader Sheikh Shady Alsuleiman, NSW Police Force chaplain Sheikh Ahmed Abdo and the Grand Mufti of Australia, Ibrahim Abu Mohamed are mentioned in a new propaganda video by the radical group.

The video calls on followers to kill the three men, and mentions other leaders from across the Islamic world, saying they're "collaborators, informers and apostates" for discouraging violence.
