Kuala Lumpur, July 10 – Handout pictures released on 09 July 2015 by the Royal Malaysian Police shows Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division officers arresting suspected Islamic militants (3-R) in Kuala Lumpur.
There is a worrying trend that IS members are directly taking orders from IS leaders in Syria to launch attacks in their home countries, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said.
Malaysian police have arrested more than 100 terrorism suspects since they began a crackdown against Islamic State supporters two years ago, according to Home Affairs Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
