(Sydney Morning Herald) A Sydney man has been jailed for more than five years for preparing for a terror attack in Bangladesh, after he was stopped at Sydney Airport and found with camouflage gear, tactical boots and an electronic copy of the bomb-making manual The Anarchist Cookbook.
Nowroz Rayed Amin, 30, was a committed supporter of Islamic State between May 2015 and February 2016 when he spoke to two men in Bangladesh on social media and discussed his plans to travel there.
Amin told his Bangladeshi contacts in August 2015 that he would travel there soon because “I need a little bit of cooking class.”
“Things in Australia are going to get very hot soon God willing, if you know what I mean,” Amin wrote.
