Cops stop militants’ terror plans, investigation leads to arrest

Sinister intentions: Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division officers detaining the former events manager in Kuala Lumpur.

KUALA LUMPUR: One was a militant who just joined the Islamic State terror group after attending sekolah pondok, or traditional religious school, in Kelantan.

The other was a militant who had been fighting with IS in Syria but was wounded and had to come back here, where he made a living from conning money from IS sympathisers on Facebook.
