Bangkok: An international student who allegedly stabbed a Melbourne man in a terror attack last week had planned to marry a suspected Islamic State terrorist which was known to Bangladesh authorities.

Momena Shoma, 24, who is facing terror-related charges, was also refused visa to travel from Bangladesh to Turkey in 2014, counter terrorism officials in Bangladesh say.

The revelations raise serious questions about why Australia’s Border Force granted Shoma a student’s visa to come to Australia.
