One image of Elomar records debris from a four-wheel-drive he was standing beside when the missile struck, with authorities saying the images clearly identify Elomar. Elomar made world headlines after images were posted online of him posing with severed heads. Family members have said Sharrouf was also killed and they have been trying to negotiate the return to Australia from Syria of his five children. |
