Turkey: Australian IS recruiter says was forced to feature in propaganda videos
Prakash, who appeared in IS propaganda videos, told a Turkey court that he was forced to do so.
He was arrested in Turkey last year while attempting to cross the border under a false name.
Meanwhile, Australia has sought his extradition to face charges at home, a BBC report read.
Asked if he was responsible for making the calls on attacking Australia in IS propaganda videos, he said, "I had something to do with it, but I was not 100 percent responsible."
"I am sorry for the trouble I have caused," he added.
Prakash left his home country Australia in 2013 and moved to Syria, where he took the name Abu Khaled al-Cambodi.
He is presently undergoing a trial in Turkey.
