KUALA LUMPUR: Police detained a Malaysian bride-to-be for alleged involvement with the international militant group, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (IS), at the KL International Airport (KLIA) 2, on Sunday.
The 25-year-old woman from Negeri Sembilan, was detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) 2012.
She was supposed to marry a Malaysian in Syria, who is also an IS member.
According to a police source, who spoke to Bernama, the man had given the woman RM6,000 for travel expenses.
The police source said initially she had booked a ticket to Istanbul, Turkey, but changed her flight route to Brunei before heading to the Middle East to elude the authority’s detection.
It is understood that the Malaysian man had a brother, who was killed on September 30 in Syria in the ongoing conflict in that country.
Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, Khalid Abu Bakar when contacted here to confirm the arrest said, “A press conference will be held.”
It was the fourth arrest made by police, after three Malaysians were arrested at KLIA on September 27 on suspicion of planning to depart for Syria to take part in the IS struggle.
Wisma Putra had recently said that the Malaysian government regarded the IS as a terrorist organisation and did not agree with any of its activities.
From April to September 21, 19 Malaysians have been arrested on suspicion of being involved with IS.
