DPM: IS ringleader Wanndy’s death triggered attacks in South-East Asia


KUALA LUMPUR: The latest terrorist attacks in several districts in Thailand, Jakarta in Indonesia and clashes in Mindanao, the Philippines, are related to the killing of the South-East Asian Islamic State (IS) coordinator Mohammad Wanndy Mohamed Jedi in Syria last March, say Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said this was the finding of the study carried out by intelligence agencies, which also discovered the existence of the Katibah Nusantara network (the Malay-speaking wing of IS) by the IS for those who became terrorists in this region.
