One of the 17 militants detained in a blitz by the Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division in Kedah and Klang Valley on Sunday.

THE current pattern of terrorist activities in Malaysia is startling. According to IGP Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun, 45 foreign terrorist fighters (FTF) linked to the terror group Isis have been detained in Malaysia since the beginning of this year.

The influx of FTFs from various regions including Europe, the United States, Middle East, South Asia, East Asia and South-East Asia is a matter of concern.
