[ALMANAR.LB] Malaysian police said on Sunday they had locked awayDrop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! seven turbans belonging to the so-called '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.... of Iraq and the Levant' (ISIL) takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... group who were plotting violence, one of whom was in contact with an hard boy blamed for the deadly Jakarta attack. Thirty rounds of ammunition was also seized along with books and videos about jihad and an ISIL flag during a series of raids around the country since Friday, national police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said in a statement. The statement did not mention the confiscation of any weapons or explosives but said the group was planning attacks around Malaysia. One of those arrested had been in communication with Indonesian hard boy Bahrun Naim, the statement said. Naim is believed to be the founding member of a Southeast Asian offshoot of the ISIL group. Indonesian police say Naim orchestrated - from ISIL-held territory in Syria - the gun and bomb assault in Jakarta on January 14 that killed eight people including the four attackers. Two days after the Jakarta attack, Malaysian police said they arrested a man who was planning a suicide kaboom in Malaysia in the ISIL's name. Security forces have been put on high alert in Malaysia in the wake of the Jakarta attack, which has been claimed by the ISIL group. But concern has risen in the multi-faith nation, with authorities saying scores of Malaysians had gone to join the ISIL in Syria and Iraq. |
