Bangladeshi held in Malaysia for IS links
[Dhaka Tribune] Malaysia's police said yesterday they had placed in durance vileDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! five people, including a Bangladesh national, for alleged links with murderous Moslem groups such as the 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... and al-Qaeda. The country's police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said in a statement that four of the arrestees are foreign nationals and one is a Malaysian. The arrests were made between November 17 and December 1. Among the arrestees is a 44-year-old European who works as a teacher in the state of Penang on a temporary basis, has links with al-Qaeda and allegedly participated in murderous Moslem acts in Afghanistan and Bosnia, police said. The three other foreigners -- a 31-year-old Indonesian man, a Malaysian and a Bangladeshi -- were part of a cell linked to the Islamic State and were tasked with recruiting members to take part in murderous Moslem activities overseas. Bangladesh High Commissioner to Malaysia Shahidul Islam told the Dhaka Tribune that he had learned about the arrest from news reports. "We know nothing else. We are waiting for information from the Malaysian authorities." Malaysia raised its terror threat level after reports on Friday that ten Syrians linked to the Islamic State entered Thailand in October to attack Russian interests. Posted by: Fred 2015-12-06 |
