Parole application of Bangladeshi-origin British cyber terrorist rejected Bangladeshi-born British terrorist Samata Ullah, who wanted to store military information on James Bond-style USB cufflinks and help ISIS, has been denied parole. Samata Ullah, 34, created a 'one-stop shop' for terrorists from his bedroom in Cardiff. He used to give various directions on how to evade the prying eyes of the police and security forces. Jihadi Samata is a British citizen of Bangladeshi origin. The former insurance executive wanted to help IS fighters around the world. Police in Britain described his conviction in 2017 as the biggest terrorist plot they had ever seen.
