15 suspected terrorists arrested in Malaysia
|
[DAWN] Malaysian police said on Friday that they have detained another 15 suspected Death Eaters, including several foreigners, for smuggling firearms and plotting attacks on places of worship.
National police chief Mohamad Fuzi Harun said six Malaysians, six Filipinos, a Bangladeshi restaurant owner and a couple from a north African country were detained between March and May.
Among the Malaysians was a 17-year-old student who made six Molotov cocktails he planned to use against entertainment outlets, churches and Hindu temples in Kuala Lumpur, Fuzi said.
The student, a suspected Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
member, tested one of his devices in an open area and was detained in April, an hour after he produced a video on social media warning of the attacks, he said.
The police chief said a 51-year-old Malaysian woman was also held on May 9 during general elections for planning to ram a car into non-Moslems at a voting centre. "In addition, the suspect also planned to drive into non-Moslem worship places using a car filled with gas cylinders as explosives," he said.
Fuzi's statement said a 33-year-old Malaysian was detained after he was deported by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire....
for trying to slip into Syria to join the Islamic State. Two other Malaysians had planned to kidnap and kill coppers and also attack places of worship, it said.
Fuzi said the African couple, both in their early 20s and suspected of having IS ties, were detained in April and since have been deported. Their specific home country wasn't disclosed.
The 41-year-old Bangladeshi was believed to be involved in smuggling weapons for terrorists.
Another Malaysian and six Filipinos, aged between 22 and 49, were held in April in Sabah state on Borneo island for being part of a Death Eater cell collecting firearms to wage "jihad" in Marawi city in the Philippines, he said.
Marawi was the scene of a six-month Death Eater siege last year. Hundreds of people suspected of having ties to the Death Eater Islamic State have been detained in Malaysia in the past few years.
