A Malaysian teen is believed to have been tempted by her future husband to join the Islamic State militia group, reports news portal The Malaysian Insider.
The 14-year-old was arrested last Tuesday at Kuala Lampur international airport before boarding a plane headed for Syria where she was to join the group, the website quoted inspector general Khalid Abu Bakar as saying.
"We believe the man (mastermind) had arranged for the flight ticket and expenses for the girl to fly to Syria. The girl's story that she wanted to marry the man could have been made up," he said, adding that the man in question had studied in Egypt.
