Two more Bangladeshi expatriate workers accused of planning to join the Islamic State group were jailed Tuesday in Singapore for raising money to fund attacks in their homeland.

Zzaman Daulat, 34, and Mamun Leakot Ali, 29, were jailed for two years and two and a half years, respectively, after admitting terrorist financing charges in a district court.

Court documents said the men contributed between $200 and $500 to help fund a terror campaign in Bangladesh, and plotted to overthrow the government there to set up a caliphate.

They were the second set of Bangladeshi workers to be jailed under a Singaporean law against terrorist financing.

In July four Bangladeshi workers were jailed for between two and five years for the same offence.
