Terror-group recruits may lose citizenship

Australia is set to introduce new counterterrorism laws, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on Sunday, with the package expected to include stripping dual nationals who are linked to terrorism of their citizenship.

There has also been speculation that the plan to amend citizenship laws, disclosed in February, could affect second-generation Australians who carry only one passport.

At the same time, the government is considering introducing a "jihadi watch" program in schools, which would keep tabs on pupils whose behavior suggests they might have been radicalized, it was announced Sunday.
