Islamic State fighters appear to be selling sex slaves on the internet
An Australian man has reportedly been killed fighting with Kurdish forces against the Islamic State terror group in Syria. 
Social media sites associated with Kurdish groups reported on Monday that Jamie Bright was killed last week fighting in north-eastern Syria. If confirmed, it would make him at least the third Australian killed fighting with the Kurds.
The sites posted previous video interviews with Mr Bright, who went by the nom de guerre Gabar Ahmed.
In one, speaking in English, he said: "The reason I came to Kurdistan is because of the people, their struggle, their fight. I've come to help them any way I can: minefields, booby traps, demolitions."
He was reportedly killed near the strategically important town of al-Shaddadi, which Kurdish forces recaptured from Islamic State in one of the Sunni militant group's more significant setbacks this year.
He was reportedly fighting with a foreign volunteer brigade of the Kurdish YPG, or People's Protection Units.
Al-Shaddadi lies east of the Islamic State's defacto capital al-Raqqa and therefore forms a key part of the pipeline between the group's Syrian base and its operations further east in Iraq.
Previously, Australians Reece Harding and Ashley Kent Johnston have been killed fighting with Kurdish forces against the Islamic State.
