Victorian police have released a composite photo of a man wanted for questioning over the Australian brush fires that killed at least 181 people and which authorities suspect may have been started by arsonists.

Police gave warning that the death toll from the fires that ravaged Victoria state last weekend could exceed 200 as fire fighters continue to battle 30 blazes across the state.

The man in the composite photo, who police say is in his early 20s and has a dark complexion, is believed to have information about a suspicious fire at Ivanhoe East, in Melbourne's north-east.

Looks a little Middle Eastern. Maybe part of the "Fire Jihad" that al-Qaeda was planning that we heard so much about a couple of years ago?

You can tell all that from a composite photo? You're quite a psychic!

I thought the Aboriginals were less, ah, Caucasian looking than this guy? Who knows, it's been more than a decade since I was in Oz....

“His lips are scorched”

He was told to blow up a bus. The exhaust pipe was still hot.

“abo” is an insulting term — like the n word.

His features, except of the dark skin, look caucasian-like. Unless he has mixed Euro-Aboriginal ancestry, he definitely looks more Islamic.

Maybe best to defer to an Aussie on this one...

More like a Bengla Deshi ~ they have a very large population of folks who resemble their closest ancient relatives who moved to OZ 50,000 years ago.

Just about everybody from Bengla Desh is a Moslem.

That is not the suspect. That is the artist/computer program rendering of a description of him. They have not release his picture because he has not been charged.
