A couple from Fuvahmulah are reported to be the latest Maldivians to have left the country in order to wage jihad in Syria.
Local media has reported that Ahmed Munsih and his wife Suma Ali told family last night that they were already in Syria and that they would not be returning.
The news follows reports last week that four members of the same family, from Raa Atoll Meedhoo, had travelled to ISIS held territory –  currently comprising large swathes of Syria and Iraq.
Police Commissioner Hussain Waheed told Haveeru that efforts were underway to discourage those wishing to travel for jihad.
