Terror plotter faces death threat charge

Terror-plotter Alo-Bridget Namoa, who continued to access Islamic State material after her release from prison, is back in custody accused of making a death threat.

The 24-year-old is due to face Parramatta Local Court on Monday after federal police arrested at her home in Granville in Sydney's west late on Sunday.

She allegedly sent text messages threatening to physically harm a person known to her.

Her three charges include one count of using a carriage service to make a threat to kill which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years if convicted.

Namoa, who once described herself and her husband Sameh Bayda as a jihadi Bonnie and Clyde, was found guilty in 2018 of conspiring between December 8, 2015 and January 25, 2016 to do an act in preparation for a terrorist act with Bayda.

Their Supreme Court trial was told the then-18-year-olds married in an Islamic ceremony before Bayda's planned "attack" on non-Muslims on New Year's Eve 2015.

Their phones contained a vast amount of extremist material, including graphic images and videos of beheadings and soldiers carrying Islamic flags, while Namoa had a knife wrapped in a Shahada flag

On her release from jail in December 2019, she was placed on a control order which she repeatedly breached resulting in another stint in prison.

She was released from jail in December on a second control order that again restricted her activities, including a ban on viewing depictions of beheadings.

She was also banned from communicating with certain people, including notorious gang leader Bassam Hamzy and anyone convicted of or charged with a terrorism offence.
