Dr Nader speaking at a seminar recently, organised by the Institute of Malaysian and International Studies (Ikmas) of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).

BANGI: There will not be any end to the Islamic State (IS) terror threat in Malaysia and other countries unless the conflict in Syria is solved, said an expert on the Middle East.  

Dr Nader Hashemi of the University of Denver, however, said there was no reason to be optimistic that the conflict there was ending anytime soon.
