Police: Momena was in contact with foreign fighters in Syria
[Dhaka Tribune] Momena Shoma, the woman who was tossed in the calaboose
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
 in Australia last week after stabbing a man, had been in contact with several Bangladeshi Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 fighters in Syria, says Counter-terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit chief Monirul Islam.

Monirul said Shoma had applied for a Ottoman Turkish visa after securing admission at a Ottoman Turkish university, but it had been denied by the embassy in Dhaka. At the time, many Bangladeshis were being denied visas to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
 for fear they would seek entry to the Syrian battlefield, as thousands of IS supporters had done.

Then she went to Australia securing a scholarship from a university and launched an IS inspired "lone wolf" attack in Melbourne.

Monirul Islam said Shoma had struck up a relationship with Nazibullah Ansari, a Bangladeshi national fighting in Syria. Shoma wanted to marry Nazibullah, but her family refused to allow the two to marry.

The information came forth during the interrogation of Momena’s younger sister Asmaul Hosna Sumona and their father, Monirul said.

In 2016, law enforcement agencies had included Nazibullah’s name on the first list of the 10 missing youths suspected to be involved with militancy.

A CTTC official said Momena also had contact with another Bangladeshi holy warrior, Gazi Sohan.

Gazi introduced her to Nazibullah in 2014, when she was studying English language and Literature at North South University (NSU).

Gazi Sohan went to Syria to fight for Islamic State murderous Moslems on December 11, 2014 but came back to Dhaka on May next year. He has been held in the custody since his return.
