KUALA LUMPUR: Police have nabbed a 27 year-old student who married an Islamic State fighter via Skype as she was trying to leave the country to join the struggle in Syria. She was detained at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
According to the New Straits Times, the woman from a higher learning institution in the Klang Valley, was arrested on December 24 by the Special Branch’s Counter-Terrorism Division (SB-CTD) operatives.
Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar, said the woman fell under the spell of the IS struggle after watching a YouTube video on the group’s propaganda, after which she embarked on a Facebook relationship with an IS fighter.
He explained, “Police found that the suspect then started interacting with an IS fighter through Facebook since mid-November.
“The woman then got married to the Maghribi man through Skype application mid last month,” Khalid said, after which her “husband” then persuaded her to join him in Syria.
The second suspect, a 22-year-old male student of a public university in Perlis, was arrested in KLIA on December 28, also trying to leave the country for Syria where he planned to join a suicide mission there.
Both suspects were detained on suspicion of committing an offence under Chapter VI A (terrorism-related offences) of the Penal Code, and will be investigated under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012.
