THE father of Gold Coast jihadist Amira Karroum has launched a legal battle to claim her $300,000 life insurance policy.
Karroum,
22, changed from a “beautiful and loving” girl spending her days
lounging on beaches to an armed soldier who died fighting for Islamic
extremists in 2014.Distraught father Mohamed Karroum, 72, said his daughter’s life insurance policy should be honoured because she was “tricked” into entering Syria at a time when it was not illegal to do so.
IntrustSuper refused to pay Karroum’s life insurance because of her ties to terrorist group al-Qa’ida and was supported by the Australian Government, which formally labelled her a terrorist after she was shot and dismembered by ISIS militants.
“They will not pay because you are not supposed to travel there but the law came in after Amira was killed,” he said.
“They said you can’t have (the money) because she went to a place she is not supposed to go.
“It was not illegal to go there until a year later, so she has done nothing wrong.
“(The extremists) got to her when she moved to Sydney at the mosque in Auburn.
“They all tricked her.”
