KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians recruited by the Islamic State terror group in Syria are moving up the ladder in terrorism – they’re leaving their janitorial posts to become ­snipers and suicide bombers in Iraq.

Previously cleaners and guards at the camps, Malaysians who fell for the IS’ promise of a false “jihad” are now being trained to become ­snipers and suicide bombers with the specific goal of regaining its grip on Iraq.
