About 100 people have left Australia for Syria to fight alongside groups such as Islamic State, Australia`s immigration minister said last year.
"We will also allege that he has been researching, designing and modeling systems to assist ISIL`s efforts to develop their own long-range guided missile capabilities," McCartney said, using another common term to describe Islamic State.
SYDNEY Australian counterterrorism police arrested an unidentified man after a raid on a countryside property on Tuesday and accused him of seeking to help the Islamic State group by developing missile technology, the first arrest of its kind in Australia.
The Islamic State group has come under sustained attack in recent weeks from coalition air strikes, which have seen the group lose much of its foothold in Syria and Iraq.
The Australian-born man, who was trained as an electrician, was expected to face court later on Tuesday, police said.
