Australia plans to strip terror suspects of citizenship, even if they're not convicted

Australia plans to pass a law within weeks to give the government the power to strip citizenship from dual nationals who are suspected terrorists even if they are not convicted of a crime, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said today.

More than 100 Australians are suspected to be fighting with the Islamic State movement and other terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq and up to 50% of those fighters are believed to be dual citizens.
